I fish the ole Trap every now and then. Last few times I have gone the water has been fairly clear and very little trash. The trash really becomes a problem during large rain events particularly in the spring. The lake really isn't very deep at all. close to **** at the deepest its 84 feet. the average depth is close to 30'. The fishing has improved over the last 2 years as well. I know Hybrids are the main attraction and are very underfished, it has an excellent rating from the KDFW. There are also decent numbers of both smallmouth and largemouth. Some of the better creeks to fish are Jonican, Grapevine, and Hurricane creek. I always do well on Crankbaits and jigs, and if the bite is slow a shakyhead will get you bit. I don't fish for the hybrids so I'm not sure about what to use for them. Be careful how far you run upstream it gets shallow pretty quick.
