A few years ago I heard that all of the lands around the new lake were already bought. The thought occurred to me was "how do they know where the banks will be before the lake comes up to full pool"?
But then the engineers probably have that figured out already. So did they buy the land for speculation or to keep people out? Probably to protect the habitat of an endangered turtle that eats an endangered flower that is poison to the turtle.

I hunted about 1000 acres in the bottoms and where the dam is being built . They still do not have all the land bought. I believe there are 4 hold outs and those 4 are the larger property owners.

Funny how that article calls out Lavon, and yet I caught a 9.5 out of it last week. Nobody will argue that steady water levels are best, but its not the end of the world. Just look at Falcon!

Hoping they do it right but i have seen a bunch of good pools that they cut the dams on . There are some big creeks that run into it. Can be there in ten minutes so hoping all goes well ,just have to wait and see

"You have to go back 18 years to find the last lake built in Texas that was over 10,000 acres in size. That was when 20,000-acre Lake O.H. Ivie was impounded on the Colorado River." Missed that one by a few years. Yeah... Like by a decade

But then the engineers probably have that figured out already. So did they buy the land for speculation or to keep people out? They can tell you exactly where the level will be. We bought our lots on fork 3.5 years before the lake was built. They had flags showing the water edge and were 100% dead on. Everything is done by elevation, simple actually

Agree, they miss the big picture on why Lavon isnt more popular. Lavon can be great for LMB, but is thought of as a mud hole. Ray Hubbard has the same proximity to Dallas and similar fluctuations, but the water clarity is better in part due to more vegetation filtering the water. I understand that they have to keep the water pipes flowing, but if you dont kill off the vegetation, the water clarity will be better= more popular for bass fisherman=more money will be spent in the area

But then the engineers probably have that figured out already. So did they buy the land for speculation or to keep people out? They have an elevation model of the surrounding land and design the dam to hold water to a certain elevation with the expectation of possible flood levels. The land within the confines of those elevation models are the lake and get purchased with land at or slightly above full pool level becoming the "new" lake front property.

I wonder if they have ever heard the term eminent domain? They shouldn't accept the 1st offer because its going to be a low ball offer but they probably don't have a choice on if they sell their land or not at this point the only argument is for how much
