Hords Creek Lake Fishing in Coleman County, Texas

• Overview

  Hords Creek Lake is set in Coleman County, Texas. The water sits 1,883 feet up. At some 477 acres it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Shoreline length is close to 3.9 miles, and each section fishes a little differently. It ranks high for size among our Coleman County listings. For a base, Coleman sits 8.6 miles out. For a city, Abilene is 43 miles off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Hords Creek Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Nearby survey and observation records mention Florida largemouth bass, green sunfish, largemouth bass and channel catfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. The near bank of Hords Creek Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 44°F on the long-run figures. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. At Hords Creek Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, 4.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Hords Creek Lake before loading the car.
