Lake Bridgeport ..down 22 feet

[Baron Von Crowder]

Joe Pool is one. It rarely fluctuates more than a foot.

Lots of area lakes are bad. My uncle has a big ass boat on Ray Hubbard, in a slip, but there's only like 30" of water under it right now. He's trying to get his boat out of there and relocate it to another lake before it's resting on the ground. Apparently lots of people are trying to do the same, and Joe Pool now has a huge waiting list for slips at both marinas.

I bought my skis off a family that was selling everything they had at their lake house on Cedar Creek and the house itself due to not having water in their canal for the last two years.

I didn't know that. I thought they could all go if needed. Thanks fellas.

I want to believe that it's cyclical, and will come back soon, but I'm not so sure. This could be a permanent trend, or the cycle is measured in decades or lifetimes, meaning that we won't be around when it does come back.

The graph for Mead is rather ominous.

I bet it will be back to normal in a year or two. Hell a good friend wants to buy a house while everyone is selling, gambling on the lakes coming back quickly.

I agree with you...I remember the same thing happening when I was a kid, my Dad bought a little lake house on Cedar Creek pretty cheap while the lake level was way down...eventually made a lot of cash off of it when the water came back up. We used it on weekends and he did weekly rentals in the summer months. Eventually sold it for some ridiculous profit about 10-years later....like 3-4 times the original investment.

This was back before it was the meth capital (Speeder Creek), though.

Wow, I knew it was bad, but this may expedite my plans of moving out of Texas...

You have no idea. Went scuba diving in a lake and found 10 or so lures inside of a 50 foot section.

Lake Mead in Vegas is down a bunch too.

There's a reason there wasn't a lake there. Because it can't be sustained. I never seen people mention this in the Texas area. We made all these lakes, none of which are sustainable long term if history is correct.

Constant level lakes ftw

Eagle Mountain is supposed to be a "Constant level lake", from what I understand it hasn't worked out so well.

"An organism called dermo kills whatever the snails don't, and there's even a vicious bacteria that can eat the flesh off your arm.

"Don't fall in with an open cut," warns Treybig. "That shit gets on you, might have to chop off the limb."

Holy shit

The pumps have been on for the past 3 months from richland chambers lake but with bridgeport unable to send any water downstream it sucks. Only 1 ramp worth a shit is open to the public that you can pull out without 4 wheel drive

Any of them still any good? That sh1t can get expensive! Fill up a tacklebox with $4-$8 lures just one time and you wont want to do it again
