LAKE FAIRFIELD FLATHEAD
CATFISH AND FRESHWATER REDFISH (RED DRUM)

North
Texas Catfish Guide Service offers Guided Catfish Fishing Trips on Lake
Fairfield for Flathead Catfish and Channel Catfish as well as Redfish
(Red Drum). Lake Fairfield is a 2300 Acre impoundment located just
Southeast of Corsicana Texas.
Lake
Fairfield is a small lake surrounded by Lake Fairfield State Park. The
lake serves as cooling for the TXU Energy plant and is a hot water
lake. Water temperatures will hover around 100 degrees most of the
year.
Because
of the power plant at this lake, you have a rare opportunity to catch
saltwater fish. The much sought after Redfish or Red Drum is stocked
into Lake Fairfield annually and there are some huge Redfish in this
lake. Catching Redfish that are thirty inches or larger is very common.
Redfish are known for their hard fight, they hit like a freight train
and will test the abilities of the most experienced anglers.
In
addition to huge Redfish, Lake Fairfield is home to excellent fishing
for Flathead Catfish and Channnel Catfish. Rod and Reel fishing for
Flathead Catfish can be excellent at times and fishing for channel
catfish can also be excellent with Channel Catfish averaging in the 3-5
lb range being most common.
Camping
is available at the state park surrounding Lake Fairfield with RV
Hookups and Primitive Camping available.
The
area around the state park is heavily timbered and filled with wildlife
where campers will regularly see deer, raccoons, hogs, turkey and other
native animals.

COVER/STRUCTURE
Inundated
timber is abundant in the upper end of the lake and in both coves on
the east side. Hydrilla forms a fringe around the reservoir out to
approximately 12'. Pockets of native pondweed provide openings in the
hydrilla and make good ambush points. The heated cove provides warm
water even in the winter. Emergent cattails and cutgrass grow in
shallow water on the shoreward side of the hydrilla.
