Figure Four Lake near Pecan Grove: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Figure Four Lake stands in Fort Bend County, Texas. This is warm bottomland country. The water covers some 50 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Some 1.9 miles away sits Pecan Grove, the nearest settlement. Cypress is the closest city, 22 miles away. Close neighbours run: White Lake 4.5 miles away, Horseshoe Lake at 4.5 miles, Gannoway Lake 5.7 miles away, Cleveland Lake at 6.6 miles and Brooks Lake 7.2 miles away. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Figure Four Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records collected within a few miles name spotted gar, freshwater drum, channel catfish and common carp. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Figure Four Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 83°F and January at 51°F. There is no dead season here at all. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect Figure Four Lake to follow that timing. A rising level after rain switches things on for a day or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. White Lake at 4.5 miles is the sensible second choice.
