Isn't Dallas also fixing to get a pipeline for water from Lake Palestine ? City folks need to stop watering concrete so much....or if its yellow let it mellow..lol People like Jerry Jones who have obsene water bills need to have theirs shut off. Few years ago the DMN ran a story on how much JJ and another persons water bills ran a month and it was totally crazy. L M A O it wasn't Jerry I love when people fire shells with no merit!! LMAO You don't think using over $5,000 of water a month is ok. You can check in the DMN archives and find the article same article had another person who used almost $15,000 of water. That's a lot of irrigation!

Actually it said in 2006 JJ was high on the list. The article I found doesn't even list him. It was Hicks who was #1, so maybe that is where you should aim your bullet. Leave JJ alone it's almost football season. And honestly this falls under the golden rule of life, He with the gold , makes the rules!

The article I am talking about only had 2 people and JJ was one the other was either a Crow or Hunt. Anyway you cut it wasting water like that should be a crime. I could water my 2 1/2 acres for $75 per year but I am not stupid enough to waste water like that.

The one I remember did have JJ high on the list but I think it was Ross Perot Jr. who used the most in the Park Cities.

Must suck to only have a lake down 10'........ Only 10 foot? Should be thankful. Here is our beautiful fishery at Lake Travis in Austin, 59.5 foot low. Not one single boat ramp open. have to launch from the bank and now it is so low you may go over the side of a steep drop off...enjoy the pics..... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pict...selectedIndex=0[u][/u][i][/i]

Let's see...
Lake Travis has a max depth (at pool) of 210 feet and an average depth of 62 feet.
Lake Fork has a max depth (at pool) of ~60 feet and an average depth of 13 feet.
Neither lake is in good shape water-wise.

Wow, you guys in East Texas are WAY to spoiled. Griping about a lake that will be 10 foot low? Try living in West Texas where we have lakes that are 30, 40, even 50 foot low. take average depths as well as the deepest depths and compare them. The lakes out west are DEEPER and have more abrupt depth changes based on terrain around them. A lot of lakes out here are flat and not deep so 10' here can easily be 2 to 3 times as bad because of that. You can't compare lake to lake like that. Besides we all make the choices to live in the area we choose. I share Z522's point of view in that I am glad we have had the chance to fish it for this long. Clearly yall have not been out here to see our lakes. Im not talking about Amistad either. Here is a list. Hubbard creek, Oak Creek, Sweetwater, JB Thomas, Twin Buttes, OC Fisher, Colorado City, Champion, Brady, I can keep going. !0 feet is nothing. Our lakes out here may have 50 to 70 feet of water when full, but you take 30 to 50 feet out of them and you don't have much of a lake. You guys whose lakes are down 3 to 6 feet still have it good. We have had to resort to tubes and little bass busters out here in places. Im just saying, from someone who lives around lakes that look as bad as they do, have some appreciation for what yall do have.

Like it is in Santa Fe New Mexico there should be mandatory 365 days a year water restrictions.

Try living in West Texas where we have lakes that are 30, 40, even 50 foot low. talk to the big guy upstairs, not our fault ... Big difference ....our lakes are only 30-50 ft deep in east tx...yals are what 100 + deep? You take 10 ft out of 30 ft lake..your left with only deep water by dam. Lets do some % here. 30 to 50 ft and yall are down lets call it 5 foot. That is any where from 10% to 16% of your water. We can average anywhere from 50 to 70 ft and most of our lakes are well....20 to 50 ft low. That translates anywhere from 30% to well....quite frankly 100% of our water. Fork is at 76% full, out here where I live, Ivie is at 17%. Tired of all the complaining from East Texas fisherman.

Its not permanent, so take it in stride. Toledo Bend was down around 14 feet in November 2011. For four days I absolutely had a "Falcon-esk" type of day...the kinda day that "all things fishing are judged by". So it will concentrate the fishing. So if you do catch 13 bass over eight pounds in a day, be responsible.
