Lake Whitney/Lake Aquilla 2011-2012 Season

[Special K]

You think there will still be water in the Nolan so the sandies will be able to get up in it?

[Razorback01]

At 9' low- yes. At 9' you should be able to get past the cliffs.

I was down there today, on both Whitney and Aquilla. As I crossed the Kimble Bend bridge, I could see the rolling current going south. It was enough that a small craft could still be swept south dispite the wind that was producing "some" whitecaps over 3 feet. The Nolan River boat ramp was almost at a complete stand still. But still very low on the mud flat going toward the Brazos. Lots of debris, and many logs have been rearranged there.

I also have formal word on the boat ramps via ACE Whitney office received @ 4:36PM. There was an assessment by park rangers today on some of the boat ramps and if they would be opened. They didn't make all the ramps but got to quite a few. Plowman ramp is not yet open and waiting assessment. McCown Vally has been opened. Cedar creek is now open. Steele creek on the creek side is still very low, but open. As advised: quote- "Launch at your own risk."

I'm gonna go check the A spill way tomorrow and see if I can't catch a crappie or two.

Lots of cats in the water over there.

Off topic, but for the guys that live around Lake Whitney. Does anybody use Verizon Wireless, and if so, what kind of service do you get? I live on the South West side of the lake, and I suffer with satellite internet, and I was just wondering if Verizon wireless was any better. Thanks

[Special K]

Yea there is. But in that little creek I've caught a bunch of crappie.

[Special K]

I haven't tried Verizon around here but my buddy has it and when he visits he has to go outside and stand on our tank dam.

[Pickaspotandbreathe]

I was wondering if their mobile broadband was any good out here. I have at&t for my cell service, and that isnt very good either. But, I really need a faster internet solution.

I've tried fishing behind the spillway at A lake, but only a couple times. Never caught anything. The folks that were fishing for drum and carp sure had success. Just haven't had time to go back.

[Texas Grown]

Current elevation: 525.81 . It's looking better all the time

[Special K]

I've had pretty good luck there when the waters running. Out there at night you can catch some big blues.

[Texas Grown]

Kody, did ya catch any today?

[Razorback01]

Only @7' low now, still letting water out of Granbury.
