Double Lakes Fishing in Lynn County, Texas

• Overview

  Double Lakes is one of the Lynn County listings for Texas. The country round it is dry hill from end to end. At 635 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. Some 6.6 miles of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Texas listings. Tahoka sits 7.6 miles from the bank. Wolfforth follows at 20 miles, then Slaton at 21 miles. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Double Lakes

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Double Lakes responds to conditions more than to tactics. Rain running in from a ditch brings food with it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 80°F; the cold one sits at 40°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Double Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Twin Lakes, 6.8 miles away. Rules at Double Lakes are worth checking on the day.
