What cause the water to turn red?

all the dead gar!!

Wow! How far down is that lake from a normal year? Where are the palm trees and camels?

Thanks, Ray, I have been keeping up with those drought pictures too. Pretty sad scenario. A lot of buds on Lake Fork are high and dry too. In fact, JP's place Bob Sandlin has to be a good hike from the water now too.

WOW! That's quite a sad site to see right there, incredible what mother nature can bring upon us WITHOUT damaging winds and rain!

Pray for several tropical stroms for that part of the state. I mean several, it would take alot of rain to help that situation. God Bless, I'm sure they need water for more than just fishing and water sports like maybe drinking and baths. Still hurts to see all those docks grounded.

The water is red because of some kind of fungus

It's actually a bacteria or algae.. There are several lakes in West Texas that have dried completely up.

Here are some pictures of what Lake O C Fisher now looks like

Both ramps closed at Lake Fork Marina. It's a sad, sad sight to see.

I lived there from 1992 through the middle of 2007 and never saw it that low.

Quite the opposite problem now
