Fishing near Irving, Texas

Look for Irving in the Dallas County part of Texas. The town holds close to 236,607 people. Distance order, nearest first: Spring Lake at 1.8 miles to the south, Vilbig Lakes at 1.8 miles, Bear Slough at 2.4 miles to the south, Lake Carolyn at 3.8 miles and Elm Fork at 5.0 miles to the east. The bank at Lake Carolyn steepens fast, so mind your footing after rain. Most of these sit behind a wall. Fish tight rather than far on all of these. Winter here does not stop anything. Rain matters more to these than temperature. Spring Lake sits nearest and covers some 1 acres. Records from the surrounding area cover channel catfish, largemouth bass, green sunfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Two counties share this ground, so check which set of rules applies. Weekday evenings are the quietest time on most of these. All of the above sit within reach of Irving, which is the practical point....
