Trent is a High level angler and he makes it look easy. It ain’t! We used to have a fair amount of success when I was a younger man on Lewisville fishing the drop off at the end of the old boat ramps or just below the floodgates. Lewisville used to hold the world record for Flatheads when I was a boy and it was very common to see 80 pounders coming out of that lake. There’s been a huge loss of habitat due to the age of the lake and there’s not that much timber anymore. When I was a boy it was heavily timbered. The biggest fish I see these days all come out of heavy Timber lakes. Ray Hubbard, Lavon and Twok are where I see most of the dinosaur yellas coming out in North Texas. All these lakes hold them but it’s the Timberlakes that seem to have the biggest Flatties and the Canyon Lakes that seem to have the highest numbers. Anywhere with timber or rocks will hold them. We still catch a few every year by accident but rarely do we ever catch one over 30 pounds out of Lewisville. We started targeting them this year again with a little success and I did hook into one this spring up in Hickory Creek that was something special but it worked me into the fallen timber I was fishing and broke me off. Most of the guys that target them specifically are fishing the rivers like the Brazos. Hope you get into em cuz they are fun to catch!

We catch quite a few of them on Palo Pinto
