Currie Lake near Canyon: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Out in Randall County, Texas, sits Currie Lake. Country round the bank runs to rolling hill. Compared with other Texas water on our list, it sits high. Head to Canyon, 9.4 miles away, for anything you forgot. Amarillo sits 14 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end. The approach is plain, and a car park is not always part of it.

• Where to Fish on Currie Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Reported across Randall County: gizzard shad, white crappie and green sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Work Currie Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 36°F in January up to 78°F in July. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Currie Lake fishes to that pattern most years. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake Tanglewood at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at Currie Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
