Lake Buchanan

Water slight stain; 80 degrees; 0.48 feet below pool. Water is stained mid lake and muddy around Garrett Island and north. Trolling with downriggers and umbrella rigs produced stripers and hybrids in 18-32 feet of waters. Look for cleaner pockets of water. Topwater is hit-or-miss but they are coming up on top mixed striper and white bass. Catfish are good at the mouth of the river and up river with the inflows. Report by Captain Aaron Dick, One Up Fishing Guide. The Lower Colorado River Authority is advising the public to avoid the lake for the remainder of the week while lake conditions are dangerous due to floating debris, fast currents and possible bacteria levels associated with flooding. Check the LCRA website current conditions. Two flood gates are open.
