Fill R' Up !

So are they going to open the lake on Thursday?

That water has to hit in a teeny tiny watershed, and since there is a solar eclipse and the stars have not aligned…not Thursday or the Thursday after that. Unfortunately. #buildabetterramp I’ll pitch in if you start a go fund me

Opens Tomorrow with free beer and BBQ , Bidens buying

Ha, those types of handouts aren’t at the boat ramp…

Time to crank the pumps up to 11. They can't have a bunch of water coming in but not going out.

Hopefully the watershed catches more rain.

It looks as if the level has started falling.

BRING IT!

they upped the amounts again, we may get 5-6" total now.

This is a just a mean game being played on you all. They built to short of a ramp for a reason. It’s just a big tease.

Second year of an unmolested spawn after anticipated opening. Will be worth the wait. Delayed gratification is the best kind.

Imagine the rape-age when it opens…,,,

So Im Hearing a lot about small parking lots, lack of ramps, etc. TPWD always does such a great job with facilities I wonder what gives. Anyone have a thought?

There's not a parking lot big enough for the first 5 years, Big relief for Fork

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe TPWD had a hand in the ramp, I don’t think they own/operate many ramps. This one is NTMWD I believe…correct?

I’m sure your are right. Just assumed it was TPWD. Thanks for the clarification.

He's in central Minnesota, how does he know.

But you’re right, some of the lakes have some of the nicest ramps around. Not sure why the ones at that places are too short.

How do you know that, being in central Minnesota?

You make it seem as if it’s impossible to be from one place and live in another. I’ve lived several different places. know a fair amount about East Texas bass fishing. Just is what it is. Your location gives the impression that you would understand.


Where do you live Smurf?

Texas, I will say I think one of you screen names is from Texas. the other one, not so much.

One thing is for certain, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have a good night, Smurf

both of you good night

been fishing well,

got over 6" last night with more to come.

Did someone fill your rain gauge to prank you again ?

We have had a deluge outside Tyler. I hope Bois d'Arc got the same.

last time I saw it rain like last night was 2015 tropical depression rains, woke me up at about midnight and stayed up till 0400.

for about an hr. I even lost cell signal.

for comparison.

yesterday morning at one of our lakes.




just a while ago, same spot but with beaver protection.




water there is about 5' deep now

Bois d'Arc Lake
Red River Basin

Lake Levels Updated: Apr 8, 2024

Water Level: 529.44ft

Future Conservation Pool Elevation: 534.00ft

530.77 now

All of this banter, and they are going to pull the plug on it, everyone needs to pretend they don’t care, they are watching

Whiteright got 3 inches Hop so Bodark ought be Rollin thru Bonham

Lake Bonham is 3' high and will dump into it also. May only be 2' low by the end of the day.

Hell it might fill at the rate it’s going. Next press release will be it’s too dangerous to navigate due to floating debris. Next target opening will be in June.

.

Fixt it for ya.

it rained over 6" here last night, bois d'arc got the same or more since it all came from that direction. guessing we got around 8" and more coming.

rained so hard I lost cell signal for about an hr. not much wind but hell of a rain.

we have water over fm 100, going down but was about 1/4 mi. covered for a while

Guess so we are the closest to the lake we better go get in line🤣🤣

marked my spot at the gate with some red spray paint.
