Oakwood: Lake Leon (See Photo Below) |
Description This 100-acre lake sits on a 3700-acre ranch southwest of Palestine. It is about 2 hours from downtown Dallas. The lake was built in the 20s, but reworked in 1997. It was stocked with various forage fish including copper nose bluegill. Shortly thereafter it was stocked with Florida strain bass. This lake might have more flooded timber than any other lake in the club. There are also three different varieties of lily pads. Members should expect good numbers of bass with a few large ones mixed in. The lake record, caught in February 2008, is 12 pounds! (see member photos on our website) This is due to the landowner’s dedication to maintaining a top-notch bass fishery. He is active in stocking forage fish to keep the lake in balance. Bank fishing is impossible due to the surrounding trees, but large fiberglass bass boats can be launched. 2 Flat bottom aluminum jon boats (14ft, 16ft) are also available upon request. Since the landowner meets you out at the property, you must give a 24-HOUR CANCELATION NOTICE or you will be charged 25% of the value of your total trip. |
