Stripers Provide Best Fishing
Heavy rains in the Brazos*
River watershed have caus-
ed a five-foot rise on Lake
Whitney. The Corps of
Engineers have opened 14
sluicegates in the Whitney
Dam and are discharging
about 17,000 cubic feet of
water per second. Barring
more heavy rains, the En-
gineers hope to limit the rise
to another three feet. No
parks are closed at this time
but floodwaters have cover-
ed some shoreline roads and
picnic tables. Some areas of
the lake are murky and
fishing is not as good as
usual. Stripers are provid-
ing the most action this

According to Burt Brunet,
of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Lake Whitney
may lose the use of about 20
percent of its park space
over the coming weekend
because of an expected rise
of nine feet over normal in
the level of the lake.
The expected rise, from
the normal 533 feet to a level
of 542 feet, is due to water
being released by other
dams on the Brazos River,
north of Lake Whitney.
"The greatest effect of this
rise,” said Brunet "will
actually be felt by boaters
and fishermen as it will
probably mean many of our
boat ramps will be rendered
useless.'^.
The rise istroUhat serious,
however, since the lake has
already been at 548 feet
once this spring. The public
is advised to be careful this
weekend around the lake
because of the higher lake
level. As of Monday after-
noon the lake level had
already reached the 539 foot
level.
This situation is of special
note since more than twice
as many people visited Lake
Whitney during the month
of May than in the previous
month, according to recrea-
tional visitation figures re-
leased by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' Fort
Worth office.
The Corps estimates that
342,556 people enjoyed vis-
its to Lake Whitney in May,
as opposed to only 166,956
during April. This brought
the total number of visita-
tions to Lake Whitney tto
955,716 during the first five
months of 1982.
The most popular activities
continue to be fishing, with
235,558, and camping, with
83,882. Other popular acti-
vities include picknicking,
sightseeing, boating, ski-
ing, and swimming.
