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 (Jun. 11)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 81 degrees; 0.46 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass bite is on fire and with fish on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for these fish on flats throughout the lake and on edges of drop-offs, especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on drop-offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in 5-14 feet of water with slabs. Reports of great catches in 17–26 feet of water using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits off the bottom with a very slow retrieve. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for fish under bridge pylons or under docks in 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Numbers of catfish can be caught targeting humps in 10-20 feet of water, but there are a lot of small fish. Bigger fish can be caught drifting cut shad, carp, drum or bream. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
