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 (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. 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. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 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.
