    Large state and many good lakes. Guessing Fork would be a good destination lake. Lots of lakes in decent driving distance around it.

    Amistad use to be the #1 pick for Winter fishing.

    Fayette County Lake, or any other power plant lake in Texas.

    "use to be" are the key words. Amistad is at record low water levels. Diablo East ramp is expected to close in the next few days.
    Falcon is also extremely low.

    Not looking good.
    Hate it even worse for those who depend on the lake for there livelyhood.
