Spindor Lake Fishing in Erath County, Texas

  Spindor Lake belongs to Erath County, Texas. It lies 896 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 16 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

• Where to Fish on Spindor Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Public wildlife records from this area list green sunfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, longear sunfish and yellow bullhead. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. At Spindor Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 44°F and July at about 83°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. That is the shape of the year on Spindor Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Stephenville Country Club Lake at 8.3 miles is the sensible second choice. For Spindor Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
