Morrison Lake Fishing in Henderson County, Texas

• Overview

  Henderson County in Texas is where Morrison Lake sits. The ground around here is pine and hardwood. This is a pocket water of some 6 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank.

• Where to Fish on Morrison Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public wildlife records from this area list common carp, channel catfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. The shape of Morrison Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 83°F and January at 46°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Anyone fishing Morrison Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Creslenn Ranch Lake, 1.2 miles away. Ask locally about Morrison Lake if anything is unclear.
