Sawyers Lakes Fishing Guide, Tyler County, Texas

• Overview

  In Texas, Sawyers Lakes belongs to Tyler County. Height above sea level is 207 feet. About 19 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The nearest place of any size is Woodville, 5.6 miles away. Beyond it, Wildwood at 12 miles and Kountze at 23 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Sawyers Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Records collected within a few miles name bluntnose darter, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, warmouth and redspotted sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. The shape of Sawyers Lakes rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 48°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Sawyers Lakes runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. Autumn feeding runs harder as the light drops away.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. West Sawyers Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Sawyers Lakes before loading the car.
