The only angler that I noticed was way up on the east arm was Palaniuk and he didn't do well up there.

I don’t think the locals have to worry about any new pressure on that lake. That was a sad showing! It just landed behind Lewisville (for the wake boats) and Aquila (for the over zealous warden and catalytic converter thefts…which the wardens turn a blind eye to) on my list of favorites.  Never been to Loserville but I can tell you I hate that other lake

Y’all are spoiled weight-wise, that was one of the worst lightning storms I’ve ever seen. That’ll shut down any lake, plus they couldn’t get back to where a ton of fish were. Everything was shallow, we saw Patrick Walters trying to go deep and caught dinks, if they were offshore he would have caught them.

What I have heard and read over the last 2 weeks from everyone who "knows" the lake, including C. Zaldain, who likely got it from a lake
expert said the same thing over and over........."There aren't many bass in the lake, but the ones here are big ones"
Big lake, near DFW with great characteristics to it to be a premier bass fishery and the general opinion is it lacks bass population??????
That should embarrass everyone in the state that cares about fishing. The classic comes to Ray Roberts and the most common comment
is the lack of fish population??
TPWD - Fix it!

I've been coming from Kansas to fish Ray Bob since 1994. I had never been west of Johnson....we come to flip timber. So it was interesting to see that west side but all they fished was bushes so makes me wonder what it looks like or how the fishing is when the water isn't that high.

The good news for the RR regulars: I didn’t see anything to make us “non regulars” stop what we’re doing and head up there! 🤔🤷♂️😀 Super happy. It’s an awful lake, y’all stay away!

how many nomad anglers will be abandoning the upper north creeks and fishing the west arm. I've been getting hacked about fishing the west side for years. The fish population is by far better on the river side.  The lake definitely showed itself this week though.

20 years ago I loved the west branch up in the river. Good flats with grass. Now the grass is gone flats have silted in. Just not what it was.
I’ll go back to my rocking chair now.

The West arm has always been the best part . Dirty water and the lowest population of fish in the lake. Except for a few key spots
