• Where to Fish on Rush Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Species logged across Comanche County include largemouth bass, green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Rush Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 82°F; by January the average is down near 38°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish Rush Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Lake Jed Johnson is 1 mile off. Treat access at Rush Lake as something to verify.
