Cattail Pond Fishing near San Augustine, Texas

• Overview

  Cattail Pond falls in San Augustine County, part of Texas. Everything around it is oak and grass. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by San Augustine County standards. Some 6.6 miles away sits San Augustine, the nearest settlement. Shreveport sits 67 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Cattail Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackspot shiner, blacktail shiner and pugnose minnow. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Take Cattail Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 81°F, while January sits near 46°F. It fishes twelve months of the year. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Anyone fishing Cattail Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Highland Pond, 2.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Cattail Pond.
