if your going to huston - lake huston is stocked with stripers and is 20 miles north east of the city..... if your driving south on route 35 , east of it is lake texoma. its shaped like a dragon and has trophy sized lake stripers not to mention it'll be alot warmer than anywhere you'd find in nevada.
qoute:
In Texas, stripers in excess of 50 pounds have been landed. Although specimens exceeding 100 pounds have been caught in saltwater, to date a 66-pounder was the largest individual reported from inland waters.
