Lehew Lake Number 1 Fishing Guide, Dickens County, Texas

• Overview

  Look for Lehew Lake Number 1 in the Dickens County part of Texas. The surface lies 2,415 feet up. The water measures roughly 2 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Texas listings. Spur lies 7.3 miles from the water. The big place round here is Lubbock, 59 miles distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lehew Lake Number 1

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it. It is listed as a reservoir.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 40°F in January. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. It holds true on this water more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lehew Lake Number 2, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Where this water is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
