Welcome to the Richland Chambers Area
By Ellen Block We are very excited and proud to publish our 9th edition of The Navigator. This “one-of-a-kind” magazine, along with our bi-weekly publication The Richland Chambers Area Progress, continues to garner positive acclaim. The Navigator has proven to be a popular area resource for known events that are scheduled to take place in Navarro, Freestone, Henderson, Ellis, Limestone and Anderson Counties, and this year we have added Limestone County to the list. These calendars of events involve extensive research and our comprehensive listings include a variety of activities that are scheduled to take place from the time of The Navigator’s publication through the remainder of the calendar year, and in some cases into the following year. We ask that you always recheck to make sure that scheduled events have not changed; many 2020 and 2021 events were postponed or canceled due to COVID-19. The Richland Chambers Lake area and surrounding communities offer a variety of social and cultural activities, with heavy emphasis on the arts. Several state parks are an easy drive away and most offer educational programs, camping facilities, and hiking, biking and nature trails. Those who enjoy community involvement will find many avenues through which they can volunteer. We strive to provide something for everyone in The Navigator. We include festivals, plays and
productions, concerts, art exhibits, fishing tournaments, Motorplex activities, fundraisers, parades, horse shows, rodeos, car shows, community endeavors and so much more. The lake area and surrounding communities are rich in activities for individuals, couples, families or groups of friends to do. Annual events include the Dogwood Trails, Derrick Days, a Bluebonnet Festival, the National Polka Festival, two outstanding Air Shows, the Red Brick Classic Car Show, Fairfield’s Show of Wheels, a Hot Pepper Chili Festival, the Kerens Cotton Harvest Festival and the Freestone County Fair. Richland-Chambers Dam and Reservoir (formerly Richland Reservoir) are located approximately twenty miles southeast of Corsicana, on Chambers Creek and Richland Creek which is a tributary of the Trinity River. The third largest inland lake, the largest sailing basin and eighth largest reservoir by volume to lie entirely within the State of Texas, Richland Chambers Reservoir encompasses 45,500 acres on the Richland and Chambers Creek tributaries of the Trinity River. The reservoir was completed in 1987 to provide water for municipal and industrial purposes. Boasting 330 miles of shoreline, replenishing rainfall has kept the water level at or just below full pool over the past few years and it is hoped that spring rains will once again bring the current water level back to 315’. The reservoir extends into Navarro
2022 Navigator
County and Freestone Counties and the dam controls a drainage area of approximately 1,957 square miles. Richland Chambers Lake continues to be an excellent source for fishing and recreational sports. The lake is known for its exceptional fishing where sponsored tournaments frequently take place. The lake offers an abundance of catfish, white bass, hybrid striped bass and bluegill, and it is popular with competitive anglers in pursuit of largemouth bass. The lake is periodically monitored by Texas Parks & Wildlife and receives an annual restocking of fingerlings or fry. According to Jacob D. Norman, District Supervisor of Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, Inland Fisheries Region 2 in Tyler, TPWD is in the middle of their 4-year management and report rotation for Richland Chambers. Therefore, the only sampling that was scheduled was a winter gill net survey in February 2021 and a vegetation survey during the summer of last year. Electrofishing and trap net surveys are planned for the fall of 2022, with another gill net survey in winter 2023, before TPWD will compose their new management plan for 2023-2027. “Our gill net surveys are primarily utilized to monitor long term trends in our catfish populations, and our White Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass to a lesser extent,” Norman explained. “Other diagnostics include the vegetation analysis and electrofishing and trap
net surveys. As a result of test outcomes, an additional 343,809 Florida Largemouth Bass were received in 2019; 162,638 in 2020 and 309,000 were requested – but not received – for 2021. “Last year our large production of Hybrid Striped Bass resulted in reduced production of largemouth bass at our hatcheries,” Norman disclosed. “Richland Chambers has seen declining shallow water habitat – vegetation, bushes, etc. – over the last few years that is critical for the survival of young largemouth bass. It is much more challenging to justify a stocking request for largemouth when critical habitat is limited. Even if a request is submitted, it will receive a low priority on the statewide list, and likely will not be stocked if hatchery production is modest, such as in 2021.” The lake did not receive any additional Hybrid Striped Bass in 2019; however, it was stocked with 96,156 in 2020, and 413,560 were requested for 2021. “For reservoirs over 5,000 acres, we can request up to 10 fingerlings per acre in our stocking plans,” Norman revealed. “In almost every scenario, I will request the maximum rate of 10 fish/acre. Richland Chambers is 41,300 acres when full, which brings my request to 413,000 fingerlings annually.” Norman said that 2021 proved to be such a phenomenal production year that our lake actually received more than 500,000 Hybrid Bass fingerlings. He believes Richland

Chambers reservoir will receive an equal amount of fingerlings for 2022. Richland Chambers Fish Community: • Prey Species: Threadfin Shad and Gizzard Shad continue to be the primary prey species and most Gizzard Shad are available as prey for sport fishes. Bluegill and other sunfish species provide additional prey, and most are less than 5 inches in length. • Catfishes: Channel Catfish are present in the reservoir, but abundance is low compared to Blue Catfish. Blue Catfish continue to support a popular fishery. Size distribution comprises a wide size range. • Temperate Basses: Angling effort for temperate basses has continued to decline and this group is now less sought than Largemouth Bass. Although angler harvest of White Bass has continued to decline, harvest of Palmetto Bass was the highest recorded over the past three surveys. • Largemouth Bass: Angling effort (particularly tournament effort) for Largemouth Bass has increased and they are now the most sought-after species. Improvement in water level stability and habitat has contributed to improved reproduction and recruitment. Growth and body condition of Largemouth Bass has been good; age at 14 inches was 2.1 years and most relative weights exceeded 90 MRW (Mean Relative Weight is an index used by fisheries biologists to determine if a fish is in good condition, fat, or thin. It is calculated by dividing the weight of a fish by the expected weight for a fish of the same species at the same length growing rapidly with plenty of food). • Crappie: Both Black and White Crappie are present and support a popular fishery with good angler catch rate. With the exception of Blue Catfish (I. furcatus), sport fishes in RichlandChambers Reservoir have been managed with statewide harvest regulations. An experimental slotlength limit to protect trophy Blue Catfish went into effect in September 2009. Any size Blue Catfish below 30 inches may be retained. All Blue Catfish 30-45 inches in length must be released; only one fish over 45 inches is allowed as part of the 25fish daily bag limit in combination with Channel Catfish (I. punctatus). Harvest regulations for Richland Chambers Reservoir: • Catfish, Blue: Bag limit of 25*** (can include 1 fish 45 inches
5
or longer), 30-45 Slot-Length Limit • Catfish, Channel: Bag limit of 25*, 12-inch minimum • Catfish, Flathead: Bag limit of 5, 18-inch minimum • Bass, White: Bag limit of 25, 10inch minimum • Bass, Palmetto: Bag limit of 5, 18-inch minimum • Bass, Largemouth: Bag limit of 5, 14-inch minimum •Crappie, White and Black: Bag limit of 25 (in any combination), 10inch minimum ***The daily bag limit for Channel and Blue Catfish is 25 in any combination; no Catfish can be retained between 30 and 45 inches. TPWD will continue to submit annual requests for Palmetto Bass and Florida Largemouth Bass fingerlings and promote stocking on social media. Although requests for restocking are submitted, stocking is dependent upon hatchery production. Other plans for Richland Chambers Reservoir are to investigate change in catfish harvest regulations and continue cooperation with the controlling authority in invasive species monitoring and management. Most local marinas now offer boat launches, food, gas, fishing/ convenience items and a few even offer R/V Hookups, lodging, boat slips and boat rental. There are several public boat ramps that also afford access to the lake. For those unfamiliar with the lake or without access to a boat, there are several fishing guides that offer full and halfday charters; the lake has some of the best! There are also a few guys and individuals knowledgeable with the lake who offer their services to familiarize you with any hazards on the lake. Facilities to compete in sanctioned shooting sports are just a short distance away and avid hunters will find local opportunities to pursue dove, ducks, deer, wild boar and upland game. The area offers something for everyone and even golf enthusiasts will find area courses to hone their skills. Residents and visitors are able to enjoy a good choice of eating establishments, including lakeside dining at The Harbor Restaurant, Fisherman’s Point Marina’s Lighthouse Cafe, Pelican Grill, Oak Cove Marina and Sunset Cove Marina Café. Groceries, sundry items, fishing tackle and Valero Gas can be purchased at the Baker’s Lakeshore Market. This convenient lakeshore market now sells breakfast items, Hangar 54 Pizza and has installed a
roller grill. More and more people are discovering the area and sales of lots and existing homes are on the upswing, as is construction of new homes. Local real estate companies are reporting the lowest inventories for waterfront home listings in many years and sales of off-water property are also on the rise. Several new waterfront communities were established during 2021. At the close of 2021, John Teel (of RE/MAX LakeSide Dreams) revealed, “The Navarro County Housing market continues to show strength and growth heading into winter 2021/2022. The tremendous change in the Real Estate market that began in 2020 and carried most categories of real estate into new territory is still alive and well. We continue to have robust demand resulting in a strong Seller’s Market in Navarro County with only a 1.7-month supply of homes available for prospective Buyers. “The overall number of closed sales in Navarro County for December 2021 compared to December 2020 was up 3.7%, even with a lower number of houses available. Buyers are looking to buy in record numbers. “At the lake this huge Buyer demand is driving sales prices into new territory too. In 2020, 58 waterfront homes sold for an average of $190.41 per square foot. In 2021, 61 waterfront homes sold for an average of $283.18 per square foot. Home values continue to appreciate, building equity and creating opportunity for homeowners. “But even with rising prices, home affordability is still very good. Currently a 30-year fixed mortgage is 4.958% and a 15 year fixed is around 3.915%. Also, in Texas more than 42% of homes are free and clear and a record number are in very good equity positions. This makes the ability to move up or to downsize well within comfortable reach. “The good news for us at Richland Chambers and other luxury markets is that the high-end market is usually the last to feel the change. As folks and investors start feeling stock market change, some opt to hedge against inflation by purchasing real estate. Small inventory and high demand mean good market prices and equity gain. Our current ‘current’ of high demand should remain strong going into 2022 and last through most of the year. “So whether you’re thinking about buying, selling or thinking about staying, you can look forward to what should be a strong real estate market
Richland Chambers Area Progress
in 2022! It is going to be a good year on the lake and for Real Estate on and around Richland Chambers!” Conveniently located for anyone seeking a weekend or retirement home, Richland Chambers Lake is centrally positioned south of the DFW Metroplex, north of Houston and east of Austin, thus providing just a “few-hours” commute from all directions. The RC Lake area has over 50 lakefront subdivisions, affording newcomers a good selection of waterfront and off-water lots, as well as a few “spec” and existing homes. Communities have been developed according to strict standards and waterfront homes are permitted to have boathouses and piers. Those who have moved to the area relish the peace and tranquility, as well as the friendly people they have met. Richland Chambers Reservoir is still a young lake with a very large shoreline and controlled development so, despite the recent increase in sales, “traffic” on the lake has remained relatively low. Those of us who live there consider it to be our “hidden jewel.” The sunsets can be spectacular and the skies are frequently adorned with flocks of seagulls, pelicans, cormorants, fulvous whistling ducks and domestic mallards. There are even sightings of bald eagles, crested caracara and an occasional osprey. While driving our country roads, you might also spot an elusive roadrunner, a scissor-tailed flycatcher or a vividly colored painted bunting, along with a myriad of other birds. Frequent wildlife sightings include opossums, raccoons, and white-tailed deer. You might catch an occasional glimpse of a bobcat, beaver or river otter, too. If you like to fish, sail, swim, water ski, birdwatch, stargaze, or are simply seeking a beautiful place to unwind and relax, Richland Chambers is the lake for you. Whether you are seeking a lot to construct your own home or desire to purchase an existing home – whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a place to live full time – you will find that the Richland Chambers Lake area is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy a bevy of lake and cultural activities, watch some spectacular sunsets, enjoy some fine lakeside dining, and interact with some of the friendliest people in Texas. This area is steeped in history and we have no doubt that you will find plenty of things to see and do. We hope you will enjoy the latest edition of The Navigator and find the information useful as you plan your calendars for the coming year.
