I talked to someone working at Fayette today on the phone. She told me that the Fayette’s parks will be closed as long as the Governor keeps the Texas State Parks closed. Fayette is on the same directive.

I hiked in yesterday with an inflatable and it was unbelievable. Fish were starving and I lost count but it was an epic day even by Fayette standards. Can't wait until it opens up after another couple of weeks shut down

Can't wait until it opens up after another couple of weeks shut down Where did you park to hike in? The roads to both park prairie and oak thicket are blocked. Did you just pull off to the side?

Park Prairie is open. Not sure about Oak. Water is up since last I was there. Looks recent, water was real dingy. Fishing was tough this morning for us and all I saw. 3 random bites in a few hours. N a 15-20 and very high pressure. Glad to see people out trying, looked like people were happy to be out, suck fishing and all.

The opening and closing of those 2 parks has been a real Chinese fire drill. (No disrespect intended).

Was glad we choose Somerville after seeing the storm over there. Didn't fish but half of Somerville's ramps are still closed. Had a 10 minute wait to launch at 1 pm but no wait to take out since we did get some rain that drove off many boaters. Two other guys and I had to "slide" a trailer over when the driver cut the corner too close. I'm glad I don't go out too much on weekends.

Around 30 minutes to launch at Overlook and 1hr and 20 min to load back up at 2:00 o'clock!

Around 30 minutes to launch at Overlook and 1hr and 20 min to load back up at 2:00 o'clock! I saw nearly 200 cars at Welch, mostly just playing on the shoreline. My guess is it only takes one official to see that, and close it all again.
