White Lake Fishing near Haltom City, Texas

• Overview

  The Tarrant County end of Texas holds White Lake. The setting is dry hill on every side. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Tarrant County list. Haltom City is the closest town at 2.5 miles. Then Richland Hills, 4 miles, and Fort Worth, 4.5 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on White Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, white crappie and gizzard shad. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. At White Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 44°F to 85°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Time your trip to White Lake by conditions rather than dates.
