Only good news is you wont see any skiers or jet fleas on this lake no one is that crazy!

Also +1 on falcon a guy was killed there and fisherman have been held at gunpoint .


Yea. . .how many people have you heard of ACTUALLY being killed by the gators or snakes or pigs around Choke? And how many people have you heard of ACTUALLY being killed at Falcon? The one guy on the jet ski that the cops still suspect was murdered by his wife?

Yea they both sound way more dangerous than Lewisville, which has killed at least 27 people since '04. Those 27 are just accidental drownings, they don't account for all the other bizarre ways people find to die out there.

I'm not trying to start a pissing contest but people shouldn't be afraid of hearsay and nonsense. Lewisville kills people, Falcon and Choke very VERY rarely do. I would be more afraid of getting accosted around Joe Pool than Falcon any day of the week.

I was a camera boat for the Elite stop on Falcon this past March, shot this little video for BASS with my iPhone can't see much as I could barely hold my phone, but you can hear it for sure.

High north winds at Falcon can humble even the most experienced anglers,been there and done that.Waves crashing against the dam is something to remember for a lifetime,always be careful on this lake in high winds,it can and will take your life.

Boy you are really one upset little fellow over this ha little Timmy . Fact is maybe lewisville has had more people die than choke or falcoln . But I know this I would probably go in any cove at lewisville I won't go in just any cove in falcoln especially up the salado . Do they have a highway patrol boat that monitors lewisville ? They did at falcoln ! And I would probably get in the water and cool off at lewisville there is no way I'm swimming at choke. Like I said people around here are know these things . That's why you don't here about it because we know better . Doesn't mean the danger level is still not there btw I love it when someone on the TFF always says not trying to start a pissing contest knowing dam well and good that's there whole intention . (Internet hero) sorry for everyone's losses of loved ones at lewisville that sux! God bless and fish on

Absolutely Conroe in the summer. Idiots on jet skis dart in and out of stump fields and pleasure boats have no respect for other boaters. Livingston is really bad in windy weather.

Fish Falcon several times my main place was in the back of salado, fish back there 3 months after guy got shot and most trips down there until water got to low! Its not bad on falcon at all, total bs on most stuff and other stuff could have been avoided with common since. Lets not act like you are going to war when you go to falcon only thing to worry about is the wind!

A big north wind on falcon is one of the scariest things i've ever seen in my life. Almost spent the night in the Sallinais (sp) one time because of a front that blew in at the end of the day that wasn't supposed to come in till around midnight. Toledo Bend is scary too because of all the stumps and the fact that you HAVE to run the boat lanes no matter how the wind is blowing, but i've never seen waves like the ones I did on Falcon.

Ray Hubbard, Lewisville, Austin - bounce a 1oz jig off of one of those fancy boats and they go away, stick a crank bait in a jet flea'r and they go away too!
Falcon and Amistad - Stay out of the obvious coves that Americans do not belong in!
Choke Canyon - I have been swimming there and those gators have never bothered me, I am more afraid of the Tarantulas and Scorpions!
Tawakoni - Avoid the tweakers and don't buy what they are selling!

Rayburn gets my vote because mother nature can change it from nice to nasty in about 1 second!
