What's the water on Dunlap and Placid looking like after the rains? Extremely muddy. Will take a few days to clear up!

What's the water on Dunlap and Placid looking like after the rains? Extremely muddy. Will take a few days to clear up! Dunlap seems to be a fairly stained lake even in the best of situations. Do you see a wide variation in how long it takes for different water bodies to clear up? It almost seems to me you have to know each water body intimately in order to estimate how long it will take to clear. You also have to add in the other factors such as how long it has been since the last rain, how much rain fell, etc. Creeks like the Yegua which have hogs rooting on the banks can get very muddy and take over a week to clear. Likewise, some small lakes will clear within a couple of days or even get clearer if spring fed. I'm starting to add this information into my decision of where to fish on any given day. Fishing in muddy water with small flies is tough, LOL. So fishing spring fed ponds after a rain is usually my first choice. PS: Great catch!!!

Thanks Jamie,CK,and Andrew for the replies. Jamie: For the most part Dunlap is a smi-clear lake. It depends on what part of the lake you are at. The further up river the better the water condition.

Nice ones Chuck. This last rain last week has really messed with the patterns. Also I think GBRA is letting water out of Dunlap. Any information on that?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. The GBRA is doing it's annual work on the dam gates. Levels should be normal by May 20. Side Note: Good chance for some very heavy rain this week. Stay safe.

Thanks Chuck. Got just under three inches in my gauge from today! Jeff said he got about 4" on Mcqueeney and that all the river lakes are a muddy mess. Both Wood and Meadow lakes got SOAKED!

Thanks for the update Curtis. You can add another 2 inches this past weekend. We also have some MAJOR RAIN coming in this next Sunday. Forecast is saying between 2 to 5 inches of rain.

Got a total of 5.15" this past weekend. Looks like my Hill Country spots are going to need some time to get fishable again.

It will take awhile for things to get back to normal. Yep and we have a good chance of picking up another inch or two today! Good news we are going to get a five day dry spell starting Sunday.
