Texas Pond Fishing near Darrington, Washington

• Overview

  Texas Pond is one of the Skagit County listings for Washington. Tidal water begins 36 miles from here. At roughly 20 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. For supplies, Darrington is 7.9 miles out. It is 39 miles to Everett, the nearest city. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Texas Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Skagit County, recorded fish include Coho salmon, Chum salmon, pink salmon and rainbow trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Texas Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 61°F in August and bottoms out near 32°F in January. A lid forms in a hard winter only. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That is the shape of the year on Texas Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Caskey Lake sits 2.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Texas Pond for certain.
