Mid August Plan Your Fall Lake Management Now

There is only one lake in Texas! Well, that’s not entirely true. There is only one naturally occurring lake in Texas, and even that’s not completely ours. We share it with Louisiana. Okay, we all know that we have more than one lake, heck, we have more acreage covered with water than the entire state of Minnesota with its “land of 10 thousand lakes” motto. How did we get them? Through good long term planning, and some serious dedication and work! Shear willpower! It takes that same dedication, hard work and willpower to keep them!

Problems with Texas ponds and lakes

Many of our lakes have developed problems, and most of these problems have to do with an invasion of exotic weeds! These foreign attackers are threatening our water supplies and recreation. That is what this site is about, preserving the lakes and ponds, and providing you with the information and services you need for doing just that.

Lake and pond management advice and service.

What will you find here? For starters, you will find a lot of information and advice on such topics as:

  • Creating your own private fishery in your old stock pond.
  • Preventing and controlling invasive weeds in your lake or pond.
  • Managing a pond or lake for optimum fishing and eating.
  • How to lime and fertilize your pond or lake.
  • And, of course, if you need someone else to do these things, our services.

There is a lot more, so come on inside, and find the answers, and the services you need to keep your pond or lake healthy, and raise more fish than you have peanut oil to fry!

We recommend starting with How to Use This Site, as a guide.

Is it a lake, or a pond?

Note: There is quite a variation of opinions on what constitutes a lake, and what constitutes a pond. For our purposes on this site, we will use my definition.

I define a lake as anything with over 5 surface acres. This is not the last word, nor is it a hard and fast rule. A one acre pond, will barely suffice for producing healthy bass, but will support large numbers of channel cat. A 2 acre pond will support enough bass to make it worthwhile if well maintained, but is still closer to catfish size than bass size. 5 acres, however, will make full fledged, honest to goodness bass production possible. The two terms are almost interchangeable, and will be used this way in much of this text.
