Fishing Mixon Lake in Henderson County, Texas

• Overview

  Texas holds Mixon Lake, in Henderson County. The setting is oak and grass. Small at around 14 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Frankston sits 6.4 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Berryville (7.4 miles) and Brownsboro (14 miles). The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Mixon Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Read Mixon Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 83°F and January near 46°F on the long-run figures. Cold never closes this one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Mixon Lake that shapes the whole year. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records show it does not hold water year-round. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Tex Iron Incorporated Reservoir Number 1 is 2 miles off. None of that is settled for Mixon Lake in what we hold.
