Anglers can still launch on both ends of Falcon Lake, but need to be careful when heading out from there.
National Weather Service meteorologists were on Falcon Lake, witnessing some of the lowest lake levels on record — below 10 percent of the conservation pool.
James Bendele of Falcon Lake Tackle said the lake hasn’t been this low since April of 2002, the lowest level since the lake filled up in 1954.
The fishing reports are good, especially for catfish and white bass, but Bendele said there aren’t many boats on the water.
Largemouth bass are used to hot water on the border lake, and Bendele said they can be found shallow early, later being caught on crankbaits and Carolina rigs off ledges and humps.
