thank you S.N. That reminds me that there are a whole 'nother set of "Fedrable" Grasslands out east as well.
Caddo (east on 380) and LBJ (Decatur) Grasslands

Are you talking weekday or just weekends?

Either/Or/Both/Any/All

Weekday mornings would be great for more local runs. Thinking of heading out somewhere over that weekend for more of a getaway, which is why Brazos below PK sounds cool, or the LBJ/Decatur jaunt, or something else.

As with so many things in life, it all depends...

I need to check out that Caddo unit someday. Maybe this fall.

brazos below whitney?

The brazos river either below PK or whitney. The is one lake in the Caddo Grasslands that is clear and has decent fishing. Lake Quitman, Caddo, Meridian State Park.

I think the red in fairfield would be really deep and hard to catch on a fly.

Broken bow. They have smallmouth above the lake.

South Lake in farmersville.

Jack, FLOAT THE BRAZOS!!!

ditto on the Brazos, but I'd try below PK.

16 to 4 you have a couple days, talk a buddy into going with ya and your set, or if you have the extra dough get YaknYoda to guide you he told me he could accomadate fly fishing on a trip.

Don't waste you time at Windmill at LBJ Grasslands. It's anaerobic and about 8 feet low. Fairfield is low too, and like a short trip to the Gulf Coast - a complete micro climate. Hot water there raises air temperatures and humidity incredibly. Also, you'll need a boat to get anywhere on Fairfield (like 2mi. up to the dam) - in my ignorant opinion. Freshwater redfish are intriguing though. Did both this week.

Dale, Martin Creek isn't that great for fishing. I have been there a few times. Now if you want to catch a big catfish, and you have BAIT...you might do some good. It is an over fished lake, and usually the fish are small, if you catch them. Now if you have a boat, you might do better...but from shore, or the pier...lots of people come by and fish...so it isn't that great...but for a change it is alright to pop in there once in a while.

moss lake, very good place, and loaded with fish

not very many boaters know about this honey hole

have to get a permit from the gainesville police department

i might, if yer here at the right time, let ya fish my grandparents pond, where I'll be waiting on my gear to get back from Alaska

I'll be the 1st to fish ur grandparents pond Austin!!!!!!! I need a new PB channel.

Fairfield is pretty tough on fly rods this time of year. The water is hot and the fish are deep. Even the bluegill bite is 8'+. A friend and I were completely skunked on fly rods out there about 2 weeks ago and I've been asking around since then.

+1 on lake Moss. It was a great little lake the last time I fished it. Of course, that was 15 years ago.

I would look at the Caddo Grasslands north of Bonham. Lake Fannin is the perfect size for fishing out of a tube or small boat. Lake Crockett is a great place for catching bass, although the filamentous algae was getting pretty bad the last time I was there, and Lake Coffee Mill has some nice fishing in the first cove by the campground.

Wow - A Fannin fan !
That place can be top water heaven and
I've been a fan for 10 years,

But alas..... that last trip,
it got the swearing
" I'm never coming back here again." statement

Gnats ! They were so bad, so thick,
I ate 'em, snorted 'em, ground 'em into eye cream
and packed them into my ears like micro q -tips.

Thank god (for me AND for every one here too) my butt was in the water as we were tubing fishing...

I longed for bear grease. We had no OFF
but we fish like men, and dont leave till dark.

Fannin -
Kinda a dink heaven
but a real real pretty lake.
