Lake Mawsy near Frankston: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Texas holds Lake Mawsy, in Henderson County. The ground around here is pine and hardwood. Around 27 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. You are 12 miles from Frankston. Tyler is the closest city, 31 miles away. Other water nearby: Johns Lake within 0.4 miles, Grass Lake some 0.4 miles off, Pharris Lakes within 0.8 miles, Fincastle Lake some 1.1 miles off and Greenbrier Lake within 1.6 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lake Mawsy

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, redspotted sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish, largemouth bass and redear sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Lake Mawsy repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 83°F for July and 46°F for January. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Lake Mawsy runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Johns Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Lake Mawsy carry more weight than any list.
