I bet it’s full of 4 pounders by now.
Anyone heard anything about the ramp?

I'm sure it is! That power plant was one of my customers, and every time I made a call, I would go by the discharge. Amazing amount of fish slicing thru there. No poles allowed. Darn the luck!

I see on Fish Brain people fishing there all the time. Appears to be quite a few biggins in there as well. I know there's signs there that state no fishing, but apparently people do it anyway. I think an 8 pounder might just be worth the citation though.

There is some access over on the Grand Prairie side: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/07/full-34948-147769-56419416_9ff9_4b68_8a1d_8e291e0329ed.png) And some on the Dallas side. Used to could drive the dirt roads all over the shoreline on both sides. Now you’re going to have to carry your yak a little ways. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/07/full-34948-147778-f5548ec3_959d_4960_868a_2b910d5369b3.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/07/full-34948-147779-1e9bc9c8_6d0b_40e8_b231_5323c266e7ca.png)

No fish there , if you go be sure to thank barryfish for widening the ramp. Watch that first drop.

I think an 8 pounder might just be worth the citation though. But is it worth hepatitis or something worse from stepping on a used syringe WHEREEVER you decide to put in...

I heard of a mercury and lead leak at the lake decades ago. There's signs posted up everywhere stating to not eat any fish from the lake. If you happen to catch a 3 eyed fish, a fish with hair, or one with an arm please post it on here!

Ole Mountain Creek! Lake I learned to drive a boat on, really cut my teeth there. I'll always love Mountain Creek. Have some awesome memories from college out there going to DBU.

A black 7” U-tailed worm flipped up into the cat tails near the runways would catch every time. One of our aviation guys can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the guys that worked on and cleaned the jets used acetone on the jets that was drained right into the lake. That’s what I was told years ago.
No matter what was used, MC was a great fishing lake when I was growing up.
