Ganzert Lake near Jollyville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Williamson County in Texas is where Ganzert Lake sits. The setting is dry hill. With some 33 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. 2.4 miles away sits Jollyville, the nearest town. It is 5 miles to Round Rock, the nearest city. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork. Nothing about the setting is dramatic, and that suits the fishing.

• Where to Fish on Ganzert Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Nearby survey and observation records mention Rio Grande longear sunfish, Guadalupe bass, bluegill and green sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. Read Ganzert Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 83°F; by January the average is down near 48°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Ganzert Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir is 2.2 miles off. For Ganzert Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
