Tedrow Lake Fishing Guide, Denton County, Texas

• Overview

  In Texas, Tedrow Lake falls inside Denton County. The water sits 627 feet up. Surface area runs to about 15 acres — small enough to read in one session. The nearest place of any size is Denton, 4.8 miles away. After that come Krum at 5.2 miles and Sanger at 5.7 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Tedrow Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish and freckled madtom. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Tedrow Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 84°F in July and bottoms out near 43°F in January. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Anyone fishing Tedrow Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Twin Lakes Number 1, 1.7 miles out. Signs at Tedrow Lake carry more weight than any list.
