Lake Lorraine, Texas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Texas, Lake Lorraine belongs to Montgomery County. The country round it is warm bottomland from end to end. Small at around 17 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. 8.2 miles away sits Panorama Village, the nearest town. Cypress is the closest city, 28 miles away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lake Lorraine

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, largemouth bass and channel catfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. On Lake Lorraine the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 83°F and January reads 49°F. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect Lake Lorraine to follow that timing. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Pine Lake, 0.4 miles away. Where Lake Lorraine is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
