Wheeler Branch Lake
Glen Rose, TX
Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
Rained several time during the week so didn’t expect great vis. However, was a little bit surprised at the 15-20 we found. LOTS of friendly fish (they must recognize a few of us divers or something) as they will come right up to you and nibble out of your hand. Then follow you sometimes (only noticed that as selfie cam caught them in the background)

71 degrees at surface but still 61 at thermocline. They need more attractions in this lake. I’d like to try to run a line to the Pecan tree near the island sometime and attach to the platform.
