Fishing Lake Copper Breaks in Foard County, Texas

• Overview

  Foard County, Texas, is where Lake Copper Breaks sits. The country round it is open plain from end to end. It runs to roughly 48 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Quanah sits 13 miles from the bank. The nearest city of size is Wichita Falls, 73 miles away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Copper Breaks

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include channel catfish, rainbow trout and green sunfish. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. The shape of Lake Copper Breaks rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 39°F in January to roughly 84°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on Lake Copper Breaks. Long daylight spreads fish out; short daylight concentrates them.
