Lake Oz in Kendall County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Look for Lake Oz in Kendall County, Texas. This is open plain ground. It runs to roughly 41 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. It sits higher than most water we list in Texas. Boerne sits 3.5 miles from the bank. Scenic Oaks is 8.1 miles away, with Fair Oaks Ranch at 8.9 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Oz

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, rainbow trout, Rio Grande longear sunfish, green sunfish and channel catfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. The near bank of Lake Oz is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 80°F for July and 47°F for January. There is no frozen season to plan round. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Lake Oz runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. Water colour tells you more than the air temperature does.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Masters Lake is 1 mile off. Treat Lake Oz as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
