Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake introduces new director at open house




The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake's new executive director Colleen Tapia met the public at the animal shelter's open house in Tool June 14.

Volunteers and other supporters of the organization mingled with the public, raising money for the animal shelter and adopting out several animals.

Despite the heat, many visitors turned out to see Norman the pig, the organization's mascot Skeeter, the adoptable animals and to visit with vendors that provide services for animals. Vistors competed for prizes such as tickets to the Dallas Zoo and munched on hot dogs.

Animal control officers from Henderson and Kaufman Counties, Friends of the Animals' low-cost spay and neuter and vacination clinic and animal trainer Shiloh Dudley provided information to visitors about pets and homeless animals.

Volunteer coordinator Leslie Casey said the open house was a success, and the organization looks forward to hosting more events. "It's been really great," Casey said. "I think everyone had a really good time."

Anyone interested in volunteering at the shelter is welcome to join the group's volunteer get-together at the Seven Points Dairy Queen at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays, July 16 and Aug. 20, Casey said.

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.
