Detours planned for 2 Cedar Creek Lake roads during Integrated Pipeline Project work




Two roads near Trinidad will be closed and replaced by detour roads to allow work on the Integrated Pipeline Project in August.

Key Ranch Road and Old River Road will be closed as a construction crew for Tarrant Regional Water District, which owns Cedar Creek Lake water reservoir, runs a pipeline about 10 feet under the roads. The work is expected to take about seven days.

Many roads in the Cedar Creek Lake area will be affected by the pipeline project, which is expected to become operational in 2018 and meet future water needs for decades. The work in August will be in the western side of Henderson County.

When complete the pipeline project will transport water from Lake Palestine, Lake Benbrook, Cedar Creek Lake and Richland Chambers Reservoir to communities in both Tarrant and Dallas Counties.

The 150-mile pipeline project is a joint effort by TRWD and Dallas Water Utilities.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom, or drifting larger cut carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
