I’ve caught a tire, many cans, plastic bags and I’m sure other things I’ve forgotten about. When I caught the tire I though I had a big catfish. Finally got it up to the boat and was shocked my braid didn’t snap when I saw the tire.

I just started fishing it some over last year and I don't think I've ever seen a lake with as much trash around it as Arlington. Being a small lake, I'm sure it gets enough pressure that makes it really tough at times but I've heard of some big stringers, 20 plus, being weighed.

I’ve saw one bag over 20 weighed out there. For the most part I see 10-12 pound bags.

or you could get shot

I live fairly close to the area so I will launch in Arlington if I only have a few hours to go out. I have caught some decent fish out of this lake, but more often than not it seems like it's always a grind. Flush the idea of finding a pattern right down the toilet!

Trashy lake, no doubt, cant see how anyone can miss it....I see so many coat hangers hanging from the brush, and soccer balls, basketballs, I have caught some good fish throwing just outside the water bottles when the lake is up. East side of the lake is fairly clean.

That Lake cycles just like any other lake. 7-8 years ago I would have said it was the best lake in the metroplex, even for a few years after that as well. But it has been hit hard with pressure the past couple of years. I've struggled out there a lot the past 2-3 years.

I have mostly done terrible on that lake. After many many many trips, I pulled up on a spot and caught 4 in the 4-5 lb range to go along with a dink I had to hit 20 lbs and change. They just so happened to be there. Seems like that's usually how people catch them good.

The fish are healthy in the lake, even if it is full of trash!

Keep poking around and you will run into them.

Nice ones

It’s fine you don’t have to fish it lol place is fire right now...
