Man oh man people things are crazy on Texoma. In my 40 years 21 of which been guiding plus my dad Bill Carey been fishing Texoma and also a guide since mid 70's i have seen several floods and many high/low water times. This was so fast of a rise and i have NEVER seen the lake get this red all over. I'm talking neon orange. 98% muddy! We are at an all time high water and records have been broke. Several trees and BOATDOCKS are FREE FLOATING out there! Fishing has been on and off to say the least. May is the prime time for us and everything has been making adjustments trying to survive and doing best we can. From no breakwater killing our dock and having to move to the back and generators and using rowboats to get to the boats and making make shift platforms to load up its been ongoing. We have got into some fish on most days but not anything close to normal. Right before the spillway and floodgates the RAMBO style fishing i named in 07 started up we were catching and for almost a week all was great. This should go on all summer. here is a little teaser video this stuff takes me a LONG time to do... CLICK LINK TO WATCH RAMBO FISHING TEASER https://vimeo.com/129335778deer blinds and horse/cattle trails way up in farm lands... This poor doe worked for 30 minutes AFTER swimming across the lake to get in the woods. She was so tired we had to scare her to a cove so she could get out of the water. Such impressive animals. So then the floodgates opened and spillway rolled over and our fish quit being consistent "how could they lake was rising so fast" and it sucked the fish right out of the trees...last few days they have kind of returned but not much clear water at all. The crowd was growing daily so I decided couple days ago to try a different approach... my oldest says "dad are you really going to fish in that? CLICK TO WATCH RIVER FISHING TEASER https://vimeo.com/129372509This is a cool pad on the river... WHAT IS THIS??

Oh deer! Yeah glad yall got creative and caught good fish even in chocolate milk lol. Very cool videos, Chris!! Talked to JD Saturday he uses a kayak to access his boat. I feel bad for the Texoma guys. But the good news is the drought officially starts today according to the weather man lol.

Chris, I know you guys must be hurting up there and having to work extra hard must be a real grind. We all are pulling and praying for you. The rain has been unbelievable. Matt, Jessica and I are looking forward to fishing with you on the 24th.

Okay,heres my plan.Too many people fishing river. So im gunna fish on lake with a giant blue fin equipment with giant t bone shad for bait. Reel that holds 2000 yds of 20 lb test.Let it out at intake at dam let line out until a big striper eats it in river then reel it back in through hole in dam. Question is would it still be a lake fish or river fish if a record?
Keep em tight!

We drove up there yesterday just to look around. It's hard to believe the amount of water/power going through there especially on 91 where the bridge is washed out. Pretty amazing!

My prayers with all the folks that depend on Texoma to make a living. Does anyone have an idea of when the lake will be accessible via a boat ramp? How long did it take for the 2007 flood to subside for boat access?
