It has been some time since I have posted a fishing report on here. There are numerous reasons for that!. Lets just leave it at, left knee replacement, and we can forget poor fishing conditions. Agreed. Not so, but lets take it back to mid summer, and if anyone can remember that time, it was when this lake was flooded so bad, resulting not only changing fishing conditions, but the devastation of homes and business around the lake. It was a time lots of people would rather forget. Not only was the lake a deep red, dirty from flowing water from rivers into the lake. Prior to that we were caching great fish, big fish, 12-20 pounds daily, then lost a lot of them over the spillway, and though the dam. Fishing suddenly became great below the dam, not me, too much flowing water, with boat damages daily. My business slowed and fishing became very very difficult. It is getting somewhat better now, but not back to the point of being a "no brainer". I would take, with a grain of salt, advise how great it is, or easy, lets just say sometimes it can be just a boat ride, but then again, if you like a challenge, and realize its called "fishing", and not "catching", you can relax with a ride beautiful lake, where fall is upon us, eagles arriving, and cooler water improving fishing conditions to the point of actually get big fish, and several of them. I have been fortunate to win, at least lst and 2nd in the many BLT Striper Tournaments held on the lake, sponsored by Budlight, and The Pottsboro Chanber of Commere. I have fished the lake for over 20 years, and have a huge clientele who returns to me each year. I live on the lake, and very interested in helping the economy in this area, as well as keeping my business one to be well respected. Anyway, wish I had some pictures of big fish to post, but lately it has been few and far between, because of the many natural conditions around the lake. But you never can tell, you might could be someone who gets that big fish, and in reports around the area, telling how great the lake can be, under normal conditions. Anyway good fishing, and fins up! JD
