• Where to Fish on Tahoka Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Tahoka Lake repays a walk before the first cast. The windward bank collects food and the fish that follow it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 80°F and January near 40°F on the long-run figures. Cold never closes this one. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Tahoka Lake rarely departs from it. Spring warms the shallows first, so start there.
