McClennahan Lake 2 near Medina: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  McClennahan Lake 2 lies in Bandera County, in Texas. Elevation runs to 1,473 feet. Small at around 4 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Bandera County standards. The town to know is Medina, 10 miles out. Lakehills follows at 24 miles, then Hondo at 26 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on McClennahan Lake 2

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include redbreast sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish and largemouth bass. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 80°F in July and bottoms out near 47°F in January. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, McClennahan Lake 1 at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on this water before loading the car.
