B and L Ranch Lake Fishing Guide, Grayson County, Texas

• Overview

  In Texas, B and L Ranch Lake belongs to Grayson County. Pine and hardwood runs right down to the water. It covers about 24 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 83°F at the top of summer and 42°F at the bottom of winter. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On B and L Ranch Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Lake Kiowa is 5.7 miles distant. Nothing on B and L Ranch Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
