Gardners Dam, River portion going into Lake This is a drive and a half to get to on a dirt road, but incredible fishing in the middle of no where. Would make a good day trip. Drop in and head south. BIG fish, but you'll work for it. Big boats can't get any where near here since the lake is nearly all but dried up, not even bank fisherman too much since it's narrow and shallow at the dam itself. But heading south it starts shallow, wide, and clear. I wouldn't do this one until more familiar with the area. Reminds me of the Devils River with the remoteness the further south you go. Just you and nature out here. It has a Difficulty of Hard mainly because of the drive in and remoteness..
