First trip to Tarpley, afternoon of 5/22/2014.  Beautiful facility, but like most of this area, water level very low.  Caretaker told me lake level was lowest he’s seen, boat ramp approx. 3’ out of water.  Prefer tube fishing, but banks too soft to access water.  Attempted to use facility boat, however, wind and moss created many problems.  However, had good results on both large & small lake.  Caught about 10 under 14” and 5 over.  Fished Zoom Magnum Finesse worms in watermelon and Chompers Twin-Tail skirted grubs in watermelon red.  Hopefully recent rains will raise lake level.
