As mentioned, lakes cycle. In my unscientific opinion I think the lake will remain very strong for another 8-10+ years due to the size, depth, and vast array of different types of cover the lake offers... as long as we dont have a severe drought in that time frame the fishery will sustain the added pressure... you just might have to figure out a different way and different places to catch em. Not to mention its a great thing for all the businesses around the lake that struggled so badly for so many years. Regardless of how it cycles, I love this lake and will continue to make the drive every chance I get!

My favorite lake in Texas. Always been. Take a lifetime to learn it....and still not find it all. Don't see that much in Texas lakes.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I could not tell you the % Florida genes in TB today but I think it fished significantly better before Floridas were heavily stocked. The more I fish(ed) Northern strain bass out of state the more I dislike the Florida strain.

IMO the cycle of lakes is all aided alone by the internet, mother nature, and the people who manage it. Lakes don't need SAL programs, grass corp, meat hunters, and A hole's dumping [censored] that don't belong in them. LWLF and Texas Parks have helped ruin some good places.

A reservoir starts its decline the day they close the dam gates. Silt is the culprit. That said, there are so many factors that influence big reservoirs, one could write a book about it. The Bend was on it's way down till some Hydrilla came along. We look at some of these invasives, and in some cases they turn out to be a positive influence instead of a negative. The one thing I would worry about more than any other is the advance of sunlight choking invasives called Giant Salvinia. That could spell the death of the lake.

Is the hydrilla just knocked back due to the high water last year or is it due to spraying?

The Salvania was already out of control in some of the areas we fished last month, I cant help but think another round of helicopter spraying is on the horizon.

Those cajuns eat any thing that swims, it happened at Amistad. I watched people cleaning numerous 5-7 lb blacks for years.  What we need to do is build a tremendous wall right down the middle of the lake, to keep all those Cajuns off our side. We can use the vast crawfish trade deficit to between the two states to get them to pay for it!
