Is the lake open? Has anyone fished it yet?

Recreational services not yet available. Bois d'Arc Lake is not open for recreation or boat access. There are many factors involved in opening a new lake, and NTMWD will make an announcement on this site when Bois d’Arc Lake is ready to open to the public. https://boisdarclake.org/

So I have never fished a new lake before. How good will it be when it first opens? My guess is we will catch number but not very big fish, is that accurate?

I've fished Limestone, Georgetown and Richland Chambers when they were all new. All of them got better for both numbers and size after they were open a few years.

My opinion, which isn't worth much- I read something that this is the first lake that has been pre-stocked with sharelunker fry, fingerlings and brood stock before opening....but that's not entirely true. Naconiche had ponds stocked as such before it was flooded and opened in 2012. I believe there was a DD caught in the first couple of weeks there. I was there a few times in the first few months it was open and caught A LOT of fish each trip with plenty of 2-4#ers. But Naconiche is a creek arm compared to the size of this one when it gets full (692 acres vs 16,641) so it will be completely different I am sure.

No fish in Bois D'Arc. Dead sea. Go somewhere else.

I just noticed Bois d'Arc on the TP&W website this morning. Last time I looked, a month or so ago, it wasn't there yet. But the link Barn posted does still say it's not open yet.

There already two HS tournaments scheduled there. It’s going to get hammered!
