100 yards of forest so thick you couldn't get a remote control boat through it for one.

Yall need to get your pole saws fired up and limb up all those locust trees, get in there and get em! Watch for those wasps now…

Wow! 2/3's like that? What would you guess the average depth of that 100 yards?

Has anybody heard if a map chip is coming out for Bois Darc?

Navionics has it for both map layers. Just look at it on their website's Chart Viewer.

Only problem is it's about 15 foot low on their chart.

How is it not accessible?

West of the bridge has some super thick timber in 14ft of water. I would be hard to penetrate much of that timber with a kayak. A bass boat has not chance. Those fish on the west of the bridge can live their entire life without seeing a bait because they cannot be reached and their is no reason they would every have to leave that heavy cover.

I been telling everybody at the Lewisville ramps how great that lake is.
I always add in how terrible Lewisville is to get them thinking about it more.

in bonham you have, mickey D's, couple of tex mex places further south on 78, on 56 far east end of town is the best burger place ever, TNT, north side of 56 east edge of town, in town, taco bell is on 56, on 121 by 82 is most of the fast food, braums, whataburger, burger king, a triple place with fried chicken/pizza/something else, mud burgers (think that is the name, south of sonic), sonic, wal mart for snacks, I probably missed one but there is a selection for in and out food.

tnt burgers does bkfst also, burgers are handmade 1/2# patties and I have never had a bad one

You need to try Middbones Hop. They have fantastic burgers.

What they need is a Taco Casa on that drag IMO.

Went yesterday for a few hours, did a lot of looking and a little fishing. Caught some, nothing bigger than 4#.

Some really cool areas of the lake and if this lake can hold up, it is going to have some excellent off shore fishing.

Did you find the submerged Pipe Bridge with the really deep-sided creek channel?

Rolled on it this morning and put a couple of two pounders in the boat pretty quick fishing the back of some coves around the south boat ramp. I threw a finesse set up just because I didn't know it yet. I talked to 3 or 4 people people that hadn't caught anything. It was pretty windy so that made it a little tough fishing finesse, my line kept blowing into the bushes.
Other observations is it is definitely more of a bowl shaped lake; like Lake of the Pines, which will allow it to give up water with out loosing tons of surface area like Cooper does.
Creeks; or the two that I was on, run literally all the way back to the back of the coves. I was sitting in about 3 feet of water with a transom mounted transducer and put down my power poles about 10 yards from the very back of a cove and they almost fully extended. The creek channels drops are pretty much vertical.
The parking lot was pretty much full this morning at the south ramp and on a Thursday morning at most lakes; even Fork, you won't see no where near that many boats so Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if you aren't there before daylight you may not get a parking spot.
We are supposed to get some extremely severe weather the next two or three days so keep that in mind. The Weather Channel reported this morning with video that a freight train was blown completely off the tracks in Abilene by this storm.

We went on a Thursday and it wasn’t that bad. Like fork this lake has a lot of fishing area. We caught around 50, but most were 2-3lbs. Largest fish was 5.04, but those little fat Florida bass fight. My first time at a new lake and I love it. Only bad thing about the lake at this point is that there is no chance of catching a monster.
