North Texas Municipal Water District owns it and will control if and when it can be used for recreation.

I would bet there are some already "checking it out"

the mitigation land surrounds us, their main office is about 3/4 mi. up the road. may or may not be able to find out when but I will ask.

North Texas municipal has the say when it opens tpw annd fannin county have 0 to do with it, and I’ve got family that offices on the lake. They ain’t “checking it out” they won’t till it reaches full pool. No if and or almost. Way too many lawyers work for that bunch

I don't see why the hype already about this lake. gonna be years before any real Sharelunkers come out of there. Someone is gonna submit a 2lbr for lake record the first day it opens, can't wait lol

You sure about that? There were adult Share a lunker fish stocked 3 years ago. With the stockings and habitat I don't think it will be that long before you see big ones coming in.

Shhhhhhh,

I'm ready to fish it. Hope THSBA replaces fork with it next year.

actually they do.

Fannin County, TX — May 12, 2021
The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) would like to remind everyone that Bois d’Arc Lake is not yet open for recreation. Completing construction and other conditions such as having a safe level of water must take place before the lake can open for boating, fishing and other recreational activities. Additionally, NTMWD is consulting with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Fannin County Sheriff’s Department to determine the appropriate time. NTMWD will notify the public when Bois d’Arc Lake is ready and safe to open for recreation.

until they throw a slot or a 3 fish 18" min on you. With Florida genetics, won't fish any different than Fork in Feb.
