Since duck season is ending on Sunday, I was thinking that it might be time to pick up the old fly rod again. I was planning a trip to Windmill Lake to harass the fish there. Has anyone been out there lately? Is there any water in the lake? The drive is a little far for just a scout around, and it would depress me too much to see that little lake without any water.

BTW duck season was rough, but I did get to shoot a few for some nice fly tying material. I hope to post some pics of creations from the feathers I saved.

Might ask up in the flyfishing section, Allyn. Don't recall seeing much about Windmill posted here. I need to break out the fly rods and give that lake a shot.

I did and got some reports. I hope the rain is helping all of the area lakes. I grew up with some old timers who ranched through the drought of the fifties. Those stories always made an impression on me. I have started to wonder if "drought" is the "norm", and we have just seen some wet times.

Thanks....

Where is Windmill Lake ?

North of decatur its a grasslands lake

I have fished clear lake, is it near there?
Thanks

I'll try to dig up my Grasslands map and give you some directions. It's a fly-fishing only lake, barbless or crimped barbs, catch-and-release for bass, and no motorized watercraft.

here are the coordinates to it

N33 28.639 W97 48.706

Happy Birthday old man!

Water level has gone up some. Its kinda murky.
