Property Name : Hickory Creek Ranch Lakes
Reservation Date : 03/19/2019 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 20 total 7 over the slot

Fished 3-19-19 and caught fish throughout the day on all manner of lures. The only baits that caught nothing were big spinner baits and the big Whopper Plopper.

We fished both lakes from the bank and had a great time. Such a gorgeous spring day, great way to spend a few hours with a good friend.

Thanks for the report Jason. Can you comment on the small lake as far as the vegetation. I guess you were able to get back there easily, i have heard its been pretty muddy and hard to get to the back.

Hi Ron-

Yes, it was too muddy for me to get my car back there using the normal road. The owner said he nearly got stuck in his 4x4 going that route. He warned me not to try it and had me get there using a different road. Once I got there I was happily surprised that they had mowed all the way to the edge so I could bank fish the entire perimeter.

As far as water vegetation goes, I'd say it was about what I'd expect this time of year, maybe a little worse. Fishable, but I did work around it throwing just flukes and top water avoiding the thick stuff.
