Fishing Cedar Lakes in Brazoria County, Texas

• Overview

  Cedar Lakes is listed under Brazoria County, Texas. This is warm green lowland ground. The water covers around 3.6 sq miles, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Around 27 miles of margin, so directions matter more than a general plan. Nothing else we list in Brazoria County covers more water. The nearest place of any size is Jones Creek, 9.1 miles away. The nearest city of size is Pearland, 52 miles away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Cedar Lakes

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Time trips to the tide table rather than the clock here. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include Alligator gar, Atlantic croaker and gulf menhaden. On Cedar Lakes the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 54°F in January and 84°F in July. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Cedar Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Cowtrap Lake is 2.1 miles distant. For Cedar Lakes in particular, ask before you travel.
