I havent heard of anybody really doing anything around Somerville.
Not visited the meth boards/arrests reports lately?
Is somerville area really that bad?
I live in bastrop county - every area has its bad spots.
I want to start camping and launching at The Birch Creek Unit. I have a wife and a 3 year old kid Is this area safe to be camping and fishing? Dont want some methheads coming into our campsite at 3am or some [censored].
I frequent both units at various times of the year, mainly to use their boat ramps. They have a state park police that patrol the parks. The COE parks lock their gates at night.
Thanks guys - I Really like the ramps at Birch Creek with my none 4x4 truck. I've only been once though. Safety of my family is first and foremost. Rocky Creek Park is equal distance but longer route due to roads. If it is safer though I will check it out.
Lake Level is at 233 ft. 5 ft. below normal. The COE started releasing over 400 cfs. in early August and dropped that to 171 cfs a couple weeks ago.
I haven't seen many people fishing the spillway. I tried a couple times but mainly just caught goo.
Better start doing the rain dance now so we'll have a good white bass run.
Yeah, we could sure use some rain for Lake Travis and the Highland Lakes area, also...Lake Travis has dropped 3ft+ in the last 30 days😥 So not sure if going to be a decent White Bass Fall run/bite this year or not🧐 Doing the rain dance of all Central Texas Lakes
Disappointed to see Lake Somerville hasn't come up at all. We got some pretty good rain in Austin over the last week, but I guess it didn't make it out that way.
Lake Level is 231.85. 6.15 feet below normal. Currently the projection is less than 0.5 inches over the next few hours. I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best though.
