Bass_Bustin_Texan TFF Celebrity Registered: 02/10/04 Posts: 9202 Loc: Longview	You all can thank Lake o the Pines for releasing the water to them! Maybe it's Lake o the Pines turn to shut the gates and let it rise some. All this rain and it hasn't moved! _________________________ You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Author Unknown

Thank the dumba who doesn't know how to read a water gauge to begin with and Caddo would have never been that low. I was told by a bunch of people that someone got in alot of trouble over it being so low!! Also would advise not to fish Caddo this weekend. 100 plus boat tournament out there

nickandnat Angler Registered: 04/25/11 Posts: 283 Loc: East Texas	You also have to contend with a ton of crappie fishermen too. They are mostly confined to the main channel around Johnson's Ranch though.

CrazyElvis Angler Registered: 02/25/08 Posts: 285 Loc: Longview, Texas	I used to fish with an old timer that has lived around LOP area his whole life....we moved here in 2006...anyway....he told me once that there is some sort of rule or law or something that Caddo must maintain a certain depth or level which is why they are always releasing water from LOP to keep the Caddo basin at certain levels. True or not true I don't know. Glad its full again....was really enjoying time on the water there last spring and early summer....

I think that was part of the agreement when Pines was impounded. Caddo was there first and I believe there are provisions to maintain it at certain level at the possible expense of Pines. I think it's also why Pines sometimes gets 14-15 feet high.

KeithBurns Outdoorsman Registered: 03/23/10 Posts: 25 Loc: Jefferson TX	Yes Caddo is part of reason Pines gets so high at times, also it doesnt take as much run off to make Caddo rise. With Big and Little Cypress feeding it, a little rain goes a long way down there. Im going Thur, cant wait. Favorite place in the world for me to fish

andy52887 Outdoorsman Registered: 12/26/10 Posts: 154	I have also heard that since Caddo is a natural lake they have to keep it at full pool.Which sucks for Pines but I love Caddo and glad it is getting back to normal.
