***Noveber update***
JerMar is currently closed until Feb 1st 2021. We have closed this lake and a few others in the DFW area to allow them to rest. Although we rest the lakes more days that we fish them in a given month, its time to allow the lake to go completely fishing pressure free for 90 days. This should re-set the lake for Spring and allow for greater catch rates.

Please note that the mornings are left open for duck hunting, but no fishing. Please do not book mornings for fishing. It is available only to our duck hunters for duck hunting only.

The lake will re-open February 1st 2021 and you may reservations up to 60 days in advance.



This property has multiple lakes ranging from several 1/4 to 1/2 acre lakes to one 3 acre lake and the largest a 10 acre lake built in 2006. The lake was stocked using the best current data in fisheries management, with the proper amounts of coppernose bluegill, red ear sunfish, fathead minnows in the spring and then the bass added in the fall. The windmill on the lake is an aeration system, used strictly for the health of the fish. This lake is on a fertilization and feeding program. The other smaller ponds do hold fish. The lake was stocked in 2007 and has already produced several fish in excess of 9 lbs.

The main lake is wide open with little protection on windy days making it difficult to fish. You may launch your boat from spillway on largest lake or there is a second boat launch area about 1/4 of the way down the main lake. Drive slowly and enter concrete spillway at an angle when launching boats. Lower profile cars and trucks may bottom out when entering the concrete spillway. Go slow and enter at an angle!

Please do not touch the fish feeders.

If you are looking for a couple of close places to eat, you may want to try My Estella Mexican Restaurant for good food at great prices. For lunch you may want to try Honey Bee Coffee and Sandwiches (open 8am to 2 pm). Both restaurants are on the Old Main Street of downtown Howe.
