Crappie biting well, but with cold fronts coming, timing is necessary. You might want to ask the fellows in either bank fishing or crappie sections what timing is best, ie, right before front/3 days after or whatever.

Anyway, White Rock LAKE is a place to fish where you can carry.

I don''t know where White Rock Creek is, ( I moved away from Dallas/Richardson in 1978, can't recall much nowadays)

1s1k52 wrote:to my knowledge . That really shocks me that you can carry at White Rock. It is surrounded by very populated areas and has a lot of "traffic". Lavon is pretty dead consistently and more "remote" in comparison.

Just more of a reason to buy a house with some land. Ha Ha.

White rock is a pretty decent drive for me. We did a walk around it for March of Dimes. I underestimated that place and its spread ha ha.

Well oops, I went and double checked and what I thought was White Rock Lake ... they were catching at White Rock Creek ... Ft Worth area maybe

Just an FYI what you want to look for is "Reservoir Controlling Authority" to see if a water body is USACE or whatever

For White Rock LAKE

Cities can't regulate CHLs at City Parks, so yes, you can carry there

Crappie are doing well at White Rock now that the water Temp is about 60 degrees...

That's the main reason I didn't move to Dallas/Waco area,(USACE) but instead live in central Tx hill country (LCRA).

One thing,

Down here like San Gabriel River is managed by a Brazos River Authority, where I can carry, then that river empties into a USACE lake , where I can't, then below that lake's dam is the river again where I can, until I get to the next lake, which is USACE, then I can't till I get below the dam, then I can again ...
(Actually, you have to go by the USACE maps, instead of just assuming their property ends at the dam, but you get what I mean. There are stretches which are NOT USACE property ...)

Not sure if you have a similar situation/river authority / subdivision of the State or anything...

Ouch, you are surrounded by USACE lakes (Except White Rock) there are some private lakes, golf courses where you might get permission etc etc ... perhaps river/creeks are the way to go
I'm blessed to be surrounded by LCRA water.

Does anyone find themselves NOT carrying?
My niece is in Band and Theater, I don't carry to her events (I go to about 1 a year), but do carry dropping her off at school; the CHL allows me to.
I don't carry in our courthouse (where I pay utility bill monthly, renew driver's license and license plates yearly)

Other than that, I'm armed. Like everyone, I go get groceries, and shop at stores, go to church, etc. and I'm armed.

I'd go ahead and get it if you might want to go to an amusement park, city park or etc in the Spring/Summer; then you don't have to rush to get it done. (I got my packet about 5 years before submitting it, I shouldn't have put it off, but then I cleaned the kitchen sink last night in preparation to wash dishes ... It seems like I just washed them in 2008; time flies when you're havin' fun)

When I took the class, they printed me and took a great photo, but those requirements are a little different now .... check with the instructor you intend to take the class from.
