Kerrville Ponding Lake Fishing Guide, Kerr County, Texas

• Overview

  Kerrville Ponding Lake lies in Kerr County, in Texas. The surroundings are dry hill. It runs to roughly 107 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. About 2.5 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. By surface area it heads our Kerr County listings. Head to Kerrville, 2.2 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 60 miles to San Antonio, the nearest city. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Kerrville Ponding Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Nearby survey and observation records mention redbreast sunfish, Texas logperch, plains darter, Rio Grande longear sunfish and largemouth bass. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Kerrville Ponding Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 80°F and January near 46°F. The surface stays open the year round. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Kerrville Ponding Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. A car park lies 160 yards away, so the walk in is short. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Camp Meeting Creek Reservoir sits 3.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Kerrville Ponding Lake if anything is unclear.
