  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Public wildlife records from this area list green sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Treat Comanche Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 42°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. On Comanche Lake that shapes the whole year. Overcast days spread the fishing across more hours.
