• Overview

  La Feria Reservoir is one of the Cameron County waters in Texas. It sits in warm green lowland. This is sizeable water at about 290 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. There is roughly 3.0 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. It lies lower than most water we list in Texas. The nearest place of any size is La Feria, 1.7 miles away. The nearest city of size is McAllen, 25 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on La Feria Reservoir

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover blue catfish, Alligator gar and channel catfish. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The shape of La Feria Reservoir decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 85°F, with January the cold end at about 58°F. Year-round warmth means year-round fishing, with early starts in summer. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. At La Feria Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Reba Bass Lake sits 3.5 miles off and takes the overflow. For La Feria Reservoir in particular, ask before you travel.
