Palo Duro Club Lake Fishing in Randall County, Texas

• Overview

  Out in Randall County, Texas, sits Palo Duro Club Lake. The bank gives way to farm and woodlot. With some 56 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. It sits higher than most water we list in Texas. For supplies, Canyon is 3.4 miles out. Amarillo is 14 miles and Bushland 16 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 78°F and January near 36°F on the long-run figures. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Palo Duro Club Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Frog Lake is 3.2 miles off. The position on Palo Duro Club Lake is worth confirming on the day.
