Long Lake in Montgomery County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Within Montgomery County, Texas, you have Long Lake. It sits in open low country. Small at around 4 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Most waters listed here for Montgomery County are larger. The closest town, Pinehurst, is 4.7 miles away. For a city, Cypress is 16 miles off. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Long Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, largemouth bass and bantam sunfish. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Read Long Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 83°F in July and bottoms out near 49°F in January. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan any trip to Long Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Neidigk Lake, 3.2 miles away. Ask locally about Long Lake if anything is unclear.
