See Waxahachie Creek on the left side of the map? Head to it and there is a trail that roughly follows the creek. Follow the creek and it will lead you to the dam.

Once you find where everyone is parking there is a trail that leads you all the way around the tree and to the damn. I went there 2 yrs ago when they were releasing water. Seen people limtied out on hybird right by the damn, also there alot of gar as well.

Like jigs4life said, follow the trail by the parking area. it will take you to the dam. you can also stop along the way, there are some cleared out areas to just fish also, just look for the little trails off the main trail.

I guess I will have to be a buzz kill...water release needs to be in the 1300's for consistent action. With the release of only 352cfs, the bite will be almost non-existent. Not saying you won't catch something, I just think you will be disappointed. http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/bardwell/

usually, Bardwell is our lake of choice...it is close and never crowded.
Waxhachie has been a NO-NO because of it being so low, before all of the rain.
The best luck we have EVER had on Bardwell was while trolling. beyond that, it has always been a fish here and there.

Bardwell is +12 feet...sooner or later, they should be releasing. Remember, look for 1100+cfs!!! Ideally 1300cfs!!!

Dam....I think?!?!?
Spillway=when it reaches a cetain level, it spills over.
Dam=Flood control, can be opened and closed to control the depth of the lake.
DAM I am pretty sure?!?!?!?

Don't go on the weekend if it is opened. IT'S A FREAKING ZOO BACK THERE...and don't forget your license. The Park Rangers and the Game Warden spend alot of time back there. If you are legal, you'll have no issue (just stay off of the rocks)!!!

Yeah...it is a little scary back there. I took my 5yr old and I thought all of the other fishermen on here were going to call C.P.S. Here is a picture of the fish he caught...

Looks like the fish need "protective services" from your son. Nice job!

I went this morning, fished about a 100 yds for the dam, used crawdads,and perch. The bite was slow, but ended up with about 8. several people down there were catching sand bass.
