For those who have been asking me about when Lake Champion will be open again: There will be a Grand Reopening on April 28 at 7:00 pm. Advertising Free BBQ, Live Music, and a Bonfire. Come see the new park and get the season permits. This will be at Fisher Park . My wife and I have already been fishing the lake out of our kayaks. We've caught several in the three to four pound range. These are probably the ones that they stocked last year or the ones that escaped from the ponds of the dams on the creeks. The lake is reported to be Golden Algea free at this time.

Is this also known as Champion Creek Reservoir just south of Colorado City?

Are there any cabins there for rent? Is there enough water to run a boat? Always glad to see new West Texas options

I believe there are just camping spots. Plenty of water to run a boat though.

I fished there a lot as a kid.

I can put my 21 Skeeter on it. So yes it is bass boat accessible. Water skiing and jet skis not allowed. It's just a fishing lake. Lots of structure, rocky cliffs in certain areas, many places have rocky places under water, flooded salt cedars, deep and shallow areas also. The lake has been stocked now with a Florida strain bass ( this is what I was told), they also stocked crappie, perch, and bait fish. In a few years if it keeps raining the lake will be definitely like it was in its glory days.

Don't know for sure I think permits are around $70.00 a year. I fussed about that as you can fish Thomas, Spence, and Ivie, for $10 but Champion is not in the CRMD lake chain ( Colorado River Municiple District) I think that's what CRMD means. I also think you have to buy a boat launch permit also. There's a number to call on Face Book page called Lake Champion Fisher Park.

Don't fuss. That is a small price to pay to have a nice facility close to home. Not a lot of money being dropped on that place by the State. Wish I still lived close. Got lots of good memories of Champion and the big fish caught there.

That's cheap if you don't have to put up with the jet fleas.
