Lake Alan Henry

Anglers know Lake Alan Henry as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Texas, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lake Alan Henry is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
