Fishermen up early at Lake Tawakoni
The sun silhouettes a fisherman and a boat early Sunday morning as a rising Lake Tawakoni attracted large numbers of people.
Recent thunderstorms put Lake Tawakoni back on the rise and filled area creeks and tributaries to overflowing flood levels.
The lake elevation increased to a maximum 433.88 reading by 9:45 p.m. April 27. That brought the lake up to within 3.62 feet of its full pool reading of 437.5 when water begins to flow over the spillway.
The reading by April 28 was 433.65.
Lake Tawakoni had gained an additional foot over the past several weeks in addition to the major gains in elevation in late February and early March.
