Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 4 Fishing near Electra, Texas

• Overview

  Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 4 sits in Wichita County, out in Texas. The bank is 1,089 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 15 acres — small enough to read in one session. For supplies, Electra is 14 miles out. Then Holliday, 15 miles, and Iowa Park, 19 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 4

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover walleye, gizzard shad, freshwater drum and largemouth bass. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 41°F and July at about 85°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 2, 10 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
