Edgemon Lake Fishing Guide, Floyd County, Texas

• Overview

  You will find Edgemon Lake in Floyd County, Texas. This is open plain ground. The water covers some 63 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. It is high ground by Texas standards. You are 18 miles from Lockney. Further out sit Floydada (22 miles) and Seth Ward (29 miles). No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Edgemon Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include green sunfish, black bullhead, fathead minnow and red shiner. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. The shape of Edgemon Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 79°F and January near 38°F on the long-run figures. Cold never closes this one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. At Edgemon Lake the season follows that pattern closely. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Emerson Lake, 1.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Edgemon Lake before loading the car.
