I will say this, I haven't been fishing Sardis religiously but for 4 or 5 years now, it's alarming to see the old timber disappearing so quickly out east in front of Wyatt's and back east towards Redmans bluff. Was out there Saturday and it looked pretty sparse, and saw a lot of the trees rocking side to side from the wave action ready to go over at any minute. It is still a beautiful lake, even more so with water in it, couldn't imagine what it looked like back out east even 20 or 30 years ago, much less back in the 40's, 50's and 60's.
My grandfather fished Enid religiously for years until he just got so old he didn't feel safe on big lakes anymore, he says all the timber he used to fish back in the 70's and 80's is gone now.
