Witchita Falls Fish
Personal memory by Miranda T.
2005 • Wichita Falls, TX, USA
Every summer at my uncle's lake, my parents would continuously talk about the abundance of fish they would catch every year when they first started dating. However, when we would go fishing as a family, the fish would be scarce do to the endless drought that caused the water level to sink and the fish to disappear.
