Fishing at Mound Lake, Lynn County, Texas

• Overview

  Set in Lynn County, Mound Lake is a Texas water. Height above sea level is 3,153 feet. It measures some 1,088 acres, and wind has room to build across it. By surface area it heads our Lynn County listings. For supplies, Brownfield is 11 miles out. Further out sit Tahoka (17 miles) and Wolfforth (20 miles). The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Mound Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On Mound Lake that means starting tight and working out. Watch the surface for movement before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 79°F and January near 39°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Mound Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Rich Lake sits 7 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Mound Lake for certain.
