French Lake, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  French Lake is listed under Comanche County, Oklahoma. Height above sea level is 1,627 feet. Around 31 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. It sits higher than most water we list in Oklahoma. Cache is the closest town at 7.8 miles. After that come Snyder at 15 miles and Lawton at 20 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on French Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Records held for Comanche County cover largemouth bass, green sunfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. French Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 82°F, with January the cold end at about 38°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect French Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Sun Set Pool, 1.2 miles away. Confirm before you fish French Lake.
