Lake Whitney on the Brazos is full. They generate electricity from that lake and they are running full power!!!
Last summer Lake Whitney was the lowest I’ve ever seen it, but it was refilled by just two rain occurrences this year. The Brazos has a very large catch basin, from the base of the high plains out towards Lubbock through the plains north of Abilene into central TX. Lots of groundwater runoff goes into the Brazos.

Lake Travis is sitting at near record low for July.

Travis - Jul 16 2012 - 4:30PM - 640.15

That is about 40 feet from full pool level as 681 is considered full.


Lake Whitney is the first place I fished for striped bass. We got there late in the evening and the guide had caught a 27lb striped bass. My buddy asked if it would be mounted and the guide replied “I didn’t even take a picture of that fish”.
