Murff Lake Fishing in Grimes County, Texas

• Overview

  Out in Grimes County, Texas, sits Murff Lake. The land about it is warm bottomland. The water measures roughly 9 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Grimes County standards. For supplies, Madisonville is 13 miles out. Then Huntsville, 18 miles, and New Waverly, 27 miles.

• Where to Fish on Murff Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records collected within a few miles name common carp, white bass and redfin shiner. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Murff Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 83°F, with January the cold end at about 49°F. The water stays warm and open throughout. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Murff Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Romano Lake sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Murff Lake is worth confirming on the day.
