Urland Lake Fishing in Tyler County, Texas

• Overview

  Urland Lake is a Tyler County water, Texas side. Everything around it is pine and hardwood. At 4 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Tyler County standards. 2.8 miles away sits Woodville, the nearest town. Further out sit Wildwood (15 miles) and Kountze (27 miles). This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Urland Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluntnose darter, redear sunfish and largemouth bass. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Fish Urland Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 48°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Urland Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Barclay Lake at 0.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Urland Lake carry more weight than any list.
