Mallery Lake near Huntsville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Mallery Lake is a Walker County water, Texas side. It sits in open low country. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. 2 miles away sits Huntsville, the nearest town. For a city, College Station is 48 miles off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout. Trees shelter part of the bank when the wind gets up.

• Where to Fish on Mallery Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, Rio Grande longear sunfish, spotted bass and green sunfish. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Work Mallery Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 83°F; the cold one sits at 49°F. Fish feed through every month here. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. The season on Mallery Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Baldwin Lake is 1.8 miles distant.
