Texas Lake is a lake in Whitman County, Washington.
Without a dependable size figure for Texas Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Texas Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a steady fall day near a small drop with a slow lure, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During an overcast morning near a channel bend under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a quiet corner after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near a windblown shore with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using a short cover-to-depth check near a shallow shelf before changing areas, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a methodical search near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a bright afternoon near the first break with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
