Me and the family went camping over the Easter weekend and one of
our stops was Lake Buchanan in the Central Texas Highland Chain.
We didnt go there for fishing just as a stop along the way site
seeing.
Anyway to make a long story longer there were hundreds possibly
thousands of huge carp all up in and around the dam and beach near
the hydro electric station and visitors center. Most of these carp
would have gone 25-50lbs with a few that would have been much
heavier. Cold front had come through the night before and the wind
was up and blowing into the corner. Because of the walkways etc.
for public viewing we were able to get within inches of these
fish, although I couldnt get my daughters to laydown on the
concrete and touch them. Anyone know if this is the correct time
for carp (buffalo) spawning in the hill country?
Also saw a bunch of 4-5 ft longnose gar hanging around the carp.
There wasnt any feeding activity going on with these fish that I
could tell. They were grouping up into small pods of 5-6 fish and
rubbing against each other, throwing water all over the place with
their thrashing. Did not see any milt in the water so am not sure
if the were actually spawning.
