Clear Lake near Redland: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Clear Lake lies in Angelina County, in Texas. It sits in open plain country. At 12 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Supplies mean a trip to Redland, 2.9 miles off. Tyler is the closest city, 73 miles away. Close by you also have: City Lake within 3.3 miles, Lake Myriad near enough 3.9 miles, Jones Lake within 4.2 miles, Lake Kurth near enough 5.5 miles and Berry Lake within 5.7 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Clear Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include black crappie, bowfin and warmouth. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Take Clear Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 83°F; by January the average is down near 47°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect Clear Lake to follow that timing. A cold snap sets things back for several days.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For crappie, work tiny jigs around any sunken cover, a foot or two down. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try City Lake, 3.3 miles away. None of that is settled for Clear Lake in what we hold.
