cant believe no one has said fork. I catch bigger and more there. but since you live in tyler, lake tyler can be good they have been schooling lately.

Fork is producing good numbers of quality fish right now.

lake nac

Lake Nac has been producing for us the past couple of weeks.

I have been out there this time of year and flat slayed em. Cold water side in deep water. The only thing is that the hot water makes the air temp almost unbearable as if it wasn't already.

Athens is a great choice. If you want to catch numbers there are another couple small lakes within an hour like Purtis Creek and Mill Creek. I've seen schooling bass on all 3 of these lakes this time of year.
