is this event still going on? my sister in levelland tells me buffalo springs is about dried up from the drought this year, she said all the fish are dead and it stinks real bad and everything

Just got off the water at Buffalo. Lots of water and no dead fish. I know the dead fish thing happened 2 years ago, but no dead fish this morning. Allen Henry is drying up though.

Buffalo Springs is a constant level lake, so yes there is plenty of water. Maybe she is thinking of White River Lake.
