While other parts of Texas may have abundant waters in their lakes, the same can’t be said here in Montague County.
And that’s a problem for fishing enthusiasts.
Especially this weekend since Texans can angle for free without a fishing license, according to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
Joe Lyon, director of water/wastewater for the City of Bowie, the reservoir controlling authority for Amon Carter Lake, said the Selma Park boat ramp is still open.
The most recent water data, as of Tuesday morning, indicates Amon Carter Lake at 910.54 feet above mean sea level. That’s roughly 9.5 feet below normal.

The boil order for the 400 block of Decatur Street due to a line break and repair mid-week has been lifted.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Coming this weekend is “Ruin at the Renaissance Banquet” the annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theater fundraiser brought to you by the MOCO Creative Arts Alliance (formally Bowie Alliance for Education and the Arts) is coming this weekend for two shows.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
