Fishing near Fresno, Texas

Fresno stands in Fort Bend County, out in Texas. The fishing starts where the built-up part ends. First the close ones: Clear Lake within 3.7 miles to the south-west, Brushy Lake within 3.8 miles, Lawson Lake within 4.7 miles to the south-west, Hickory Slough within 5.8 miles and Horseshoe Lake within 11 miles to the north-west. At Horseshoe Lake the shallow end warms first, which matters in early spring. Cold never shuts these down. The quiet season is summer, not winter. The area trades in still water rather than flow. Where two depths meet, work the seam between them. Clear Lake sits nearest and covers some 24 acres. There is a car park at Clear Lake, according to mapping. Fish documented across Fort Bend County include spotted gar, bluegill, channel catfish, warmouth and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Local anglers in Fresno tend to rotate between these through the season....
