I have heard that they collect a year or so worth of fishing reports and just recycle the same reports over and over. Can anyone verify this?

Wouldn't be surprised. I've seen some "reports" that were not even close. Lake level, water clarity way outdated!

I have heard that they collect a year or so worth of fishing reports and just recycle the same reports over and over. Can anyone verify this? Definitely not true. The reports are done under a contract for TPWD by a private agency which collects current reports from its sources. Some of the sources are marina operators and others who depend upon the fishing public for a living. Those people are going to understandably be reluctant to report the fishing is lousy. On the whole the reporters try to give an accurate report, and if the reports are consistently poor in quality the reporters are replaced. There is a time lag of about a week in the process which accounts for some of the problems. By the way, the owners of this forum are also the people who do the reports. I think they do a good job and we should be grateful for them.

Interesting so when the government shutdown for over a week and basically every COE lake was closed, how is it that the fishing reports kept on a coming from those lakes?

Those reports are terrible. Last year they were reporting the fishing was great on Cooper. Finding schools on the humps and catching catfish on trot lines. The truth was the lake was so low all boat ramps was closed and no one was out on the water. Don't believe everything you read.

Can't say anything about TX reports.
Will say about Okla reports that 99% of the time they look like pure BS from my perspectve.
May be TX isn't much different.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

Not a big TPWD fan. Have seen no TPWD improvements in our 2 local fisheries in 12 years.

Yep and they say Lake Granger is always clear, I've been fishing that lake since it was impounded and it's never been clear. I also notice that they try to push the same lures, sounds like someone has their hand in the cookie jar!!!

I asked TP&W why Lake Texana never had a report, and they replied they get reports from marinas, fishermen, and mostly guides and there wasn't anyone at Texana that would report. And as expected, guides and marinas are going to say it's good because that's their business. TP&W did say if someone is interested in reporting each week, they would welcome the help.
