Thanks for the corrections... I am hoping folks will add some lakes to the list... surely there are more than this in Texas.

Arlington is missing. I fished it this past Thursday for the first time. Conditions were bad but I was not expecting to get skunked like I did. Nice looking lake though.

There are 10 lakes on the list that I haven't ever been on. And I don't think Meredith is 16,000 acres anymore due to panhandle drought. Please Lord, let it rain ALL over Texas!
Thanks for posting the list!

Also, where is Benbrook Lake and Lake Worth? Both are larger than some listed.

You are correct... this one is 4537 according to the state... don't know where I got that number... a mistake on my part.

I am shocked that Lake Ray Hubbard is bigger than some of those listed. I thought it would have been one of the smaller ones.

Pretty much spot on for Meredith. Hunted up there over Thanksgiving, its just a little pond now. Crazy to think all the areas we were hunting was once underwater, and were hunting a LONG ways from where the water was.
