Fishing at Pine Pond, Polk County, Texas

• Overview

  Pine Pond stands in Polk County, Texas. Around the bank it is open plain. Small at around 20 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. You are 7.9 miles from Corrigan. Further out sit Livingston (18 miles) and Diboll (19 miles). Others within reach: Carter Lake lies 0.6 miles on, Barnum Lake 4.8 miles off, Georges Prairie Pond lies 8.8 miles on, Howell Lake 12 miles off and Lake Tomahawk Number 2 lies 13 miles on. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Pine Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Pine Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. Approach from downwind so your line does not land ahead of you.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 48°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Pine Pond to follow that timing. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Carter Lake, 0.6 miles out. Where Pine Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
