Alan Henry up 1.5’
Sweetwater up 11.5’
Oak Creek 1.5’ over pool and full for the first time since 2007. Three months ago was at 43% full.
Champion up 5’
Spence only about 5” but creeks running fast and water on the way
Sadly Ivie seems to be missing out on the fun.

Champion has been a blast to fish this year and is up about 8-9' since the last time I fished it back in April. Sweetwater definitely caught the most and I hope they decide to restock it. Oak Creek is my home lake and I can't wait for the lake to settle and explore things I haven't seen in a decade

A two person job unless you like getting wet and muddy.
Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

I never had any issues by myself, but my boat is only 17' long. I think the water is up on the main ramp now, but I don't think it's enough to be useable yet

Wait until next week when the remnants of hurricane Sergio come across West Texas. THAT'S the setup for full West Texas lakes. Oh yeah. Twin Buttes up 11'.

THANK the wonderful LORD for the rain we got. EVERY PRECIOUS DROP IS APPRECIATED in West Texas. At our ranch, we got 2.23", biggest was a 1.4" rain the other morning. The river is outside of it's banks and rolling along FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe some more this weekend.
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

It's crazy how often Ivie gets missed. I don't think it gets 'missed'. The watershed is just too small for that part of Texas. Basically from San Angelo to Ivie and from Spence to Ivie plus the creek that flows through Ballinger. Not very big for an area that usually gets less than 20" or rain per year.

Ivie honestly is about the correct level with that size of watershed. Has to get almost perfect to fill it up
