Guard Shack at Lewisville Lake Park 

The Guard Shack at Lake Lewisville Park that we all drove through everyday to launch during our May tournament in 2006 is completely flooded to the entrance. The parking lot, gazebo and swimming pool at Sneaky Pete's where we had our tournament briefing is completely flooded. Worse yet, the Weather Channel is predicting North Texas will have another low pressure system parked over us for another week that will dump several more inches of rain. One day recently, we got 4 inches in 2 hours.

Severe wide-spread flooding is occurring. Lake Grapevine, Lake Lewisville, Lake Lavon, Ray Roberts, Texoma, Lake Worth, and Lake Whitney among several others are closed due to high water and safety. At present, they are scheduled to re-open sometime in August..hopefully. To help put this into prespective, when the WBT fished Lake Leisville, it was 8 feet low. Currently, Lake Lewisville is 12 feet high. That is 20 plus feet of water in a very short time.

Tournaments are being cancelled. You can only fish from shore if you can find shorline. Anglers have been catching a few fish in flooded parking lots. Other than that, lots of water but no safe way to launch and lots and lots of floating debris, etc.
