Red Hills Lake Fishing Guide, Sabine County, Texas

• Overview

  The Sabine County end of Texas holds Red Hills Lake. The surface lies 341 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 9 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 2.9 miles away sits Milam, the nearest settlement. Hemphill lies 9.2 miles off, Zwolle another 16 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off. You can learn the basics of it in one visit.

• Where to Fish on Red Hills Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell 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. Nearby survey and observation records mention largemouth bass, bluntnose darter and dusky darter. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Read Red Hills Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 47°F on the long-run figures. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on Red Hills Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is a campsite 110 yards from the water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Toledo Bend Reservoir, 6.5 miles out. The position on Red Hills Lake is worth confirming on the day.
