Winter weather threatens weekend outdoor events




Forecasts of cold, wet weather on Saturday led to the rescheduling of Athen's "Home for Christmas" parade. The anticipated temperature will be in the mid to high 40s.

The parade will be held Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. instead.


Parade entries should plan to arrive at the Trinity Valley Community College parkng lot no earlier than 4:30 p.m.


Tuesday, Dec. 6 was selected as the most feasible date when considering weather forecasts, other community events and known conflicts for volunteers and parade entries.


For more information on the change to the parade schedule, please call Athens City Hall at 903-675-5131.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 75 degrees; 0.43 feet above 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! 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 white bass have started schooling in water from 4-14 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 spinners 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. Catfish are excellent the first couple hours of the day on retaining walls where the shad are spawning using fresh cut or whole shad on a bobber or with a light weight. The bite slows as the day progresses because the catfish are feeding heavily at first light. Later in the day target catfish on the first drop-offs in 5-15 feet of water. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
