Carroll Lake Fishing near Corsicana, Texas

• Overview

  Navarro County, Texas, is where Carroll Lake sits. Elevation runs to 384 feet. The water measures roughly 18 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Supplies mean a trip to Corsicana, 10 miles off. Wortham follows at 11 miles, then Hubbard at 18 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Carroll Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blue catfish, largemouth bass, striped bass and white crappie. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. On Carroll Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 84°F and January near 45°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect Carroll Lake to follow that timing. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Soil Conservation Service Site 36 Reservoir is 2.7 miles off. Nothing on Carroll Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
