Hopefully those of you traveling down there to have an enjoyable fishing trip will take it a little more serious than some of the people on this thread. Be safe and stay alert at all times down there. http://www.tackleandrods.com/lake/flash.htm Gone Fishing B.A.S. 6/5/47-6/6/12 C.W.S. 9/29/72- 10/17/23

No BS shirt-off-their backs family. Pay attention to what James says. It may just save your arse. Fish our side, for now, and you're golden. Fork's 27,000 ac. Half of Falcon at this level is 20k+/- with a fraction of the traffic. If I had a trip planned, none of this would delay my going. If anything, I'd be excited to have a little more water to myself.

From the Mexican side that is.

But my initial thought is, you couldn't pay me anything to even thing about crossing into the Mexico side..... I plan to make a trip to Amistad maybe in a few months, but crossing into Mexico, hell no.. I'll stay where I KNOW it's safe in the USA. I go fishing to have fun, not to worry about a bunch of wet backs shooting at me...... Majek 22 Extreme/225 Optimax Pro XS hauled by a 2500HD Duramax

I�m more afraid of going to an American shopping mall, school, church or movie theater where some skinny legged, suburban, disenfranchised, white boy who wasn�t held enough as a baby starts greasing people than I am going to Mexico
