Alazan Lake near Redland: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Alazan Lake sits within Nacogdoches County in Texas. The ground around here is oak and grass. With some 70 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. A shoreline of some 1.6 miles keeps the choices simple. It ranks high for size among our Nacogdoches County listings. For a base, Redland sits 7.5 miles out. The big place round here is Tyler, 66 miles distant. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Alazan Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluntnose darter, dusky darter and largemouth bass. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Fish Alazan Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 82°F and January about 46°F. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Alazan Lake to follow that timing. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Fern Lake is 3.2 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Alazan Lake for certain.
