Sammy I'm looking at the aerial photos of the dam site and looks like they raped most of the old growth timber out of there. Thats what made Fork special they left a bunch of that. Let's say it contributed to what made Fork so special. Fork was the golden child of the TP&WL. Bois D'Arc is like a step cousin that might or might not be related by blood. I agree though..... Leave the timber. J When are you going to fly over and video it? See you Thursday mernin! I'm off tomorrow. We can put the GoPro on the wing tie down and make a series of low passes. C'mon. I work Thursday. buzz me man, buzz me! wave the wings if ya see me, only about 5 mi. north on fm 100, riverby airstrip is no more, fyi.

Did the freeze affect the Florida strain fish young they were stocking there? I've read that Florida strain bass do not do well in the extreme cold we got here.

I’m in Leonard as well and am very excited for this. I have high hopes that it will be a great fishery. My fear is that 8 ft pipe they ran will suck a lot of water quick. I worry about the fluctuating water levels.

How many think this lake is just going to be another Cooper? Good for a couple of years then just a mud hole....

I don’t think the cold did anything other than make them sluggish during the low temps. They aren’t the only Florida strain bass in Texas, and there hasn’t been a massive fish kill. Florida strain bass are harder to catch when a front comes through.

Saw something posted not long ago bout how they are doing this lake so it will be better than Fork. I think that is about the biggest BS i have heard in a long time

If what I read earlier in this thread is true, that they have put Share fish into this lake, it does not have a chance to become a Fork. For its first years they did not stock anything but Florida fish into Fork.
With Sharelunker fish it won't have as many pure Florida fish in it.

Aren't all the fish that the ShareLunker program breeds pure Florida strain? I mean I know Norther/Florida crosses are caught and turned in to the program, but only the pure Florida's are introduced into the program and spawned?

Maybe I am mistaken but early on in the program Sharelunkers were not as good as pure Florida fish. That may have changed.

I thought the logic of the 13lb fish was they would know it is 100% Fl bass. No electricity of the other genes allow the fish to reach 13 lbs

I caught a legacy ShareLunker in 2017 and though it was proven genetically to be an offspring of another Sharelunker previously caught from a different lake mine wasn’t pure Florida strain. If they’re not pure Florida then they want use the fry for brood fish or donate them to another lake, all the fry will be returned back to the lake the none pure Florida was caught from.
