Cedar Creek Lake counties issue burn bans




Burn bans are now in effect in the Cedar Creek Lake area, prohibiting outside fires because of drought conditions.

Kaufman County Commissioners Court enacted a 45-day burn ban Sept. 18, 2017, and Henderson County issued a 14-day ban on Sept. 26. County officials followed the recommendation of Texas Forest Service officials to enact the bans after no measurable rain fell during a month’s time.

The bans could be extended if the drought continues.

In Texas, local governments are empowered to take action on the behalf of those they serve. When drought conditions exist, a burn ban can be put in place by a county judge or county commissioners court prohibiting or restricting outdoor banning for public safety.

Some exceptions apply to burn bans for activities such as firefighter training. The County Fire Marshal’s office can provide more information.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 18)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 86 degrees; 0.20 feet above pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass bite is on fire while fish continue to be in a feeding frenzy. Focus on flats throughout the lake and on edges of drop-offs, especially on cloudy and overcast days. Use 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. Catfish remain consistent 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.
