Well, the good news is the fishing been excellent and those that make the trek will probably see less fishing pressure. A slow season may be good for the lake at the current water level. She's been taking a beating over the last year and could use a break right about now! Glass half-full 😀👍

For those launching on the South end at the State Park, expect to see lots of state vehicles in the parking lot and on the water patrols during the ongoing investigation.

You can fish falcon at night, just carry a red and blue flashing led bar.

A lot more Americans have been killed on and around Fork than have been on and around Falcon in the last 20 years

I get that you can encounter violence anywhere but cartel violence is different. If they are blatant enough to haul loads at the State Park Ramp not long after dark it's definitely a mess down there right now. And to say that no fisherman minding his own business has ever encountered a problem down there is false. There are a lot of people looking to head down there this time of year and the last thing that we need to do is lul them into a false sense of security. By all means head down, I will but have your head on a swivel, and be mindful of your surroundings.

I don't personally have any vested interest in whether you go to the lake or not, but I can only think of two in the last decade and both involved very shady circumstances and were not fishermen

This is fact. With the amount of enforcement on both sides, I feel it is quite safe.

If I bring my boat back from Rayburn this weekend, may run down and fish Falcon for a day or so. I probably should stay at Rayburn and start getting ready for BFL's starting in Jan.


Thanks, Billy
