The wind does seems to kick up every day, late in the afternoon and almost always from the west...at least it did when I was growing up around there. If you can hike, get off the roads and try some of the less frequented lakes. Wear good boots and be cautious about the snakes, though. My brother once brought home a 24 inch rainbow he caught in Shiner Lake, but he had to hike in to get it. I love that country, but I'm glad I don't live there now!
