Centrally located between Dallas, Austin/San Antonio and Houston, this lake should be a good draw for members in all our major Texas markets. Harding Lake is a 20-acre lake on a beautiful ranch just East of Fairfield. Our electro-fish survey produced many healthy bass over 3 lbs and a good forage base of bluegill.

Bank fishing at this lake will be very limited as there are cattails surrounding the majority of the lake. There is a dock and a 2 person pontoon boat available for members to use during their trip.

There is a great concrete road that takes you past a large house to Harding Lake. Please follow the directions closely and drive slowly.

Please harvest all bass under 14 inches along with any crappie and catfish you catch.

There is NO boat launch at this lake. The pontoon boat is large and having a trolling motor of 40 lb thrust or larger is recommended. Kayaks and small plastic boats can be hand launched.

Please note there are two lodging opportunities at this ranch and all lodging includes fishing. All lodging opportunities must be made through the club office as they are currently not available to be booked on line.

Option #1

Lake Lodge is a beautiful, fully equipped 2 bedroom lodge overlooking Red Lake. There is a spacious living room that opens to the kitchen and dining area and a large outdoor patio. There is also an incredible outdoor kitchen that has all the bells and whistles and cooking options you could imagine. This is the place you want to take your best customer, wife, or buddy when you want to treat them to a dream weekend.

Bedroom one is larger and has two queen size beds, two large walk-in closets and a full bathroom boasting a walk-in shower - it also has a cozy sitting area with a fireplace and TV that can be opened to the outside back porch.

Bedroom two has a queen sized bed, large walk in closed, TV and full bathroom. This bathroom is accessible from the main living area also.
