| LAKE SARAH featured in Youtube star's bass fishing series
Some folks might have noticed Tyler's Reel Fishing bass boat on Sarah the weekend of July 25, 2020. We were curious so my daughter followed him on YouTube and waited for his video to post. (His video on "frog" fishing is really interesting and he shows off the lake Sarah largemouth bass population nicely)
The LAST Frog Fishing Video You Will Ever Need!
Tyler Anderson, a Texas A&M University telecommunications major in the class of 2019, is one such creator. His YouTube channel, TylersReelFishing, has more than 112,000 subscribers, and he’s uploaded more than 800 videos that have garnered 15 million total views in just five years.

Saturday July 4, 2020
Great turnout in the 90 degree sunshine for this year's 4th of July parade - 23 watercraft participated making this year a tie for the largest parade in it's history (assuming my memory is reliable). Thank you to all the participants and shoreline Spectators!
Special shout out to Sarah Evjen (parade chaiperson) and Nate Uselding (parade leader), this 24th annual Independence Day Parade would not have happened without your help!
Photos below by Brad Spencer. Families who would like full size images of their parade entry should email me and I'll send them to you.

Loon Family @ lake Sarah!
1st time to my knowledge in the 2+ decades we've lived here that a loon family has stayed and hatched a chick.
Make sure you stay clear of the nest should you accidentally discover it!
