Fields Lake Fishing near Henrietta, Texas

• Overview

  Fields Lake sits within Clay County in Texas. It lies 971 feet above sea level. It covers about 14 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Clay County list holds plenty of bigger water. The town to know is Henrietta, 8.6 miles out. The nearest city of size is Wichita Falls, 21 miles away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Fields Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Anyone new to Fields Lake should walk it once before setting up. Watch for the line where weed gives way to clean bottom.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 41°F to 84°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On Fields Lake that shapes the whole year. Barometric swings often matter more than the calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Whitley Lake at 5.9 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Fields Lake in what we hold.
