Kayaking at Purtis Creek State Park




It's kayak day at Purtis Creek State Park Aug. 9.

Free kayak classes will be held that Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. You can take your own kayak with you or use one of the park's kayaks. The class will focus on getting use to kayaks and paddling them. Games will be played.

Wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet and meet at the boat ramp. The class is free with paid admission to the park at the entrance.

After you learn how to paddle a kayak, return to the park at 8:30 p.m. for a guided tour of the coves of Purtis Creek. The tour cost is $12 per person for use of a park kayak or you can take your own kayak.

Reservations are required for the morning kayak class, and reservations and pre-payment are required for the night tour. Call 903-425-2332 or email [email protected].

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 21)

EXCELLENT. stained; 77 degrees; 0.02 feet full pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Shad spawn is nearing an end, but there continues to be a good early shallow bite on and around points and windy shoreline. Drifting in 15-25 feet of water is consistently producing bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
