Baylor Lake Childress, Texas

[father of 4]

I took the kids to Baylor Lake out of Childress, TX today to see how low it had gotten since we have had a heck of a dry spell here. This used to be a very nice bass lake with bas in excess of 13 pounds being taken off of it as well as some nice Crappie and Catfish. A few years ago it got Golden Algie 2 years in a row and now its drying up. Its 30 miles away from me and I cant even put my boat in. Its a horrible site.


The one below is looking up from the waters edge to the boat ramp

This one is 2 of my Kids standing on a dock that I can remember the poles being all the way under water.

That's a shame! We were 17' low a couple years back and the next year the lake was closed due to high water.

Hope things turn around soon for ya'll out West.

Man that's bad!!!!! Wish we could send you some water we've had enough of it in Vermont with flooding several times this year. Not to wish a hurrican on you guys but maybe some of the water will fill you guys up a little.

One thing for sure, I'd be taking pictures of the layout of the lake and marking it on a Topo map for when it fills back up.
