Paddlefish re-introduced in East Texas lake


Caddo Lake and Paddlefish. Both are prehistoric looking. Wonder how a couple would do in my pond. I am on my third phytoplankton bloom for the year.

Camping and fishing Caddo was one of my favorite memories as a kid. We would bring grandads motor and rent a john boat at Johnson's landing....fish most of the day then set trot-lines. As a kid of 10-12 years old that lake was some kind of spooky at night while running trot-lines. I would sit in the front of the boat grabbing and pulling up the lines. Never knew if it was going to be a big catfish, snapping turtle or alligator-gar.

In later years I duck hunted with a guy out of Uncertain Texas. Really great memories running those narrow slews wide open in a john boat.



Wow, that looks incredible! Gotta visit there sometime...


Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
