Directions to Falcon Lake:

Falcon Lake is located on the Mexican border about a 5 hour drive from Bastrop.  Please note that half of the lake is in Mexican waters and if you plan to fish the Mexican side you will need a special fishing license.

A friend on JR’s and Willie has a cabin we can stay at on Highway 16, about a mile towards Zapata, past State Park Road Arroyo Velleno intersection, approximately 6 – 8 miles from Zapata.  It is a blue cabin visible from Highway 16 on the right hand side.  JR will have the key for access. Accommodations are very basic so remember to bring your own bedding and supplies.  There are also hotels in the area if you would prefer. 

Reminder:  Make sure if you are staying in the cabins it is very basic so remember to bring your own bedding and supplies.  Don’t forget extension cords to charge batteries also for you boats.  Hope to see everyone down in Zapata.  Good luck

The 5^th Annual C.A.S.T. for Kids event for disabled and disadvantaged children is seeking participates for their annual event on April 25th, 2009.  This event gives special youth, their families, and sponsors a chance to team up for a day of outdoor fun and learning.  A partnership consisting of Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative, Bureau of Reclamation’s Great Plains Region and Lower Colorado River Authority (L.C.R.A.) are proud to host the fifth annual event at L.C.R.A.’s Lake Bastrop.

Currently, the C.A.S.T. event is held annually in 33 states throughout the country.  For more information, visit their website at www.castforkids.org

The C.A.S.T. for Kids event is an extraordinary outdoor occasion that teams sponsors and experienced anglers with area youngsters (ages 4-12) for a day of fishing enjoyment.  Experienced anglers (boat captains) take disabled and disadvantaged children and respective parents/guardians out on boats for a couple of hours of fishing and fun.  For many of these children, this event is their first opportunity to fish.  After going fishing, everyone will enjoy a free lunch, and participating children and boat captains will receive awards and door prizes.  Seeing the joy on the faces of the children who have participated in these events is a thrill that lasts a lifetime, both for the kids as well as for the captains.
