Anglers looking at Wheeler County will find Cleggs Lake, a reservoir; I would give one sheltered piece of water a fair chance and resist moving until I get a clear read from the first few casts. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one straightforward piece of water until I get a clear read from the nearby water.
Cleggs Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Cleggs Lake, so I would leave those numbers open until a current management document publishes a figure and fish one promising piece of water until I get a clear read from the first hour.
Fishing This Water
A reliable fish list for Cleggs Lake is difficult to confirm, so I would carry a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait, fish one easy-to-read section of bank, and leave the target open until I learn something from the first setup. I would keep the tackle narrow on Cleggs Lake, fish one manageable section of bank, and avoid changing everything until I learn something from the opening stretch.
A Practical Cleggs Lake Game Plan
My first plan for Cleggs Lake would be to fish one nearby shoreline stretch deliberately and change one variable at a time only after I find a repeatable bite in the first area. When I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would stay around one short shoreline stretch on Cleggs Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Cleggs Lake with one straightforward section of water already on the short list.
