I was on Lake Arlington yesterday and it is appalling the amount of floating garbage on that lake. I have never seen that much [censored] even when a lake has come up 10 feet in depth. My home lake is Lewisville and it's nice and clean compared to that toilet.

Couldn't agree more... its the only lake around that you can get on a dirty diaper pattern, or the famous flip flop pattern.

Marine creek isn't much better Actually the west side of Lake Arlington is a former trash dump in the back of the cove going into the discharge And the west end up above Village Creek is a constant illegal dump I'd have to follow those up with upper Lake Worth, And anywhere there is bank fishing access

Lake Casa Blanca is a trash can. I actually watched a family finish their picnic and dump all their trash into the lake before they left.

I grew up fishing village creek. For a few years there were sewer manholes overflowing into the creek and into the lake. I think that's fixed now. But the landfill was put on the creek after that. Id say Arlington lake is pretty disgusting. Hope the city of Arlingtons not drinking that water

Lake Houston. Went there a month ago to try my hand with catfish. Nasty but faint smell on the bank. Trash ring around 15ft of the windblown banks. Caught 13 fish(12 channels, 1 yellow) and didn't keep a single one. Never seen as ugly fish as I caught that day. Not to mention I could only fish within eyesight of my truck because of some shady hand liners. Never had such a terrible experience catching fish.
