Get Ready For Independence Day Weekend




It's shaping up to be a great weekend on the lake, and people are eager to get outside and celebrate our nation's independence. There are several great events going on around Cedar Creek Lake. You can even see fireworks Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night if you plan it just right!

Friday night there will be a fireworks show at Freedom Fest hosted by Life Fellowship Church in Athens. There will be lots of family fun and activities, followed by fireworks.

Saturday is the annual mainstay "Thunder Over Cedar Creek" Airshow, followed by a fireworks show. This is an even you don't want to miss, especially if you are a boater. 

Sunday you can venture away from the lake for a "Fishing and Fireworks" evnt at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. Bring chairs, a picnic for dinner and your tackle box for a great evening outdoors. 

Read our 4th Of July Weekend Event Guide for all activities this weekend.

Be sure to keep your eye on the weather, because there are scattered thunderstorms predicted to pass through the area. Even if the sky looks clear while you're out running around, you might be in for a change in an hour or two. 

Also be sure to stay safe and smart, as this is always the busiest weekend on the lake. Keep your head on a swivel, have fun and celebrate freedom!

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.07 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. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
