I drove by Lavon this weekend and the lake is down by 6ft. I can walk to my fishing spots.

It's really bad man. I think maybe 25 percent of my normal spots have enough water right now. Problem is, when it gets time, will they have enough water then?

This year is the first I have tried to catch them in fall and winter, I normally just hunt migratory birds fall and winter. How deep do the creeks need to be to catch them? I been dove hunting every weekend since Sep 1, but I'm going to focus on crappie till duck hunting season, then I'm gonna try and do both. I duck hunt a lot on mouths of creeks, I can probably kill ducks and catch crappy in the same area. I have been out a few times this fall and caught a few keepers..

Very bad indeed. I fish a lot of creeks during the year and they all need a LOT of RAIN!

,grass is taking over that lake..for some reason the hydrilla is growing like crazy.. dont know what changed, its always been a deep, volatile , clear lake with poor nutrient inflow. more sunlight penetration perhaps?
things are changing right before out eyes. its happening all over the world.. makes u wonder where all the water is.
3 lakes in central texas are over 10 feet below normal pool.. thats ALOT of water...
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

I dang near live on Stillhouse so I forced myself to fish it more often and try to figure out the crappie in there. Last year around this time I was very successful up river. Caught decent fish and several limits. Right now I cant even get my boat that far up the river....
