Hikiʻole i kahi hola e holo aku ai mai San Antonio ,ʻo Choke Canyon Reservoir kekahi o nā loko kūikawā maikaʻi loa o Texas a me ka hopena lawaiʻa nui loa i ka'āina. No ka mea, ua puniʻo ia i ka'āina mākele'āina,ʻo Choke Canyonʻaʻole ia he mea e ulu ana i nā kahakai. ʻO kēia hemahema i ke kākoʻo i kākoʻo pono i ka inoa inoaʻole o Choke. Ua ālaiʻia ka moana mai ka pāʻani mele i nā hoʻokūkū o ka'āina i hoʻokomoʻia i ka televised -ʻo ia ke kuleana o ka hoʻolahaʻana i ka'ōlelo e pili ana i nā loko wai wela.
No laila, me ka hanaʻana he 5 a 10 mau paona nui i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, uaʻikeʻo Choke Canyon i ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi.
Eia naʻe, mai haʻalele i ka nele o "buzz" naʻaupō. I loko o nā makahiki, ua loaʻa i ka 26,000 acreʻo Choke Canyon Reservoir i nā hopena bass kaulana. Ua hoʻonohonohoʻia nā pūʻulu hoʻolālā kūikawā he nui. ʻO ka papa o ka lake e kū nei i kahi nui bigmouth e kū nei i kahi 14.66 paona. Eia naʻe, ua hoʻomauʻia ke kahakai e noho mau i kaʻike'āina.
Eia hou,ʻo ka nui o ka inoa inoa o Choke Canyon e pili ana i kona wahi. Aia ma kahi o 75 mau mile mai San Antonio,ʻo Choke Canyon keʻano nui ma 'waena o kahiʻole.' ʻO nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi o nā kahawaiʻekolu aʻo George West kahi wale nō e kokoke kokoke ana i nā heluna kānaka. Akā, no nā lawaiʻa eʻimi i kahiʻoihanaʻoihana-ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi,ʻo ka huakaʻi i 'kahi'ʻole ka waiwai.
ʻO kekahi kumu nui'ē aʻe no ka nele o ka mahaloʻole iā Choke -ʻo ka mea i hoʻopuniʻia e ka'āina aupuni - he mea nui hoʻi i ka mea hōʻailona.
Hoʻomauʻo Texas Parks & Wildlife i ke keleponaʻo Choke Canyon ma keʻano heʻelua 'unites' -ʻo ka Calliham Mokuna aia ma McMullen County,ʻoiaiʻo ka South Shore Unit aia ma Live Oak County.
Ma ka 1,100 mauʻeka,ʻo ka Calliham Mokuna ka nui o nā meaʻelua. Hoʻokomoʻia ka Calliham Mokuna me nā hale kuamoʻo a me nā kauhale he nui no ka poʻe e makemake e noho ma ka moana pono'ī.
Loaʻa iā ia he 2 mau mile o ke alahele hele moana, kahi mile mile, kahi kula hoʻonaʻauao holoholona,ʻehāʻehā o nā waaʻa a me kahi loko iʻa he 75 eka. I ka pōkole, hāʻawi aku ka Calliham Unit i nā mea a pau no kaʻikeʻana o waho.
ʻOiai aia he 385 mauʻeka ka nui o nā kahakai o ka South Shore, he wahi maikaʻi loa ia no nāʻano hana likeʻole. ʻO kēia pūnaewele he 'lā hoʻohana wale nō ia' wale nō,ʻo ia hoʻi,ʻaʻole iʻaeʻia kahi hoʻomoana. Eia nō naʻe, he nui nā wahi i loko o ka papa eʻae ai no ka pāʻaniʻana, ka pale, ka holoʻana, a me ka nānāʻana i nā mea hihiu. Aia kekahiʻaoʻao o ka South Shore Unit i kahi āpau heʻeono mau mika.
ʻOiaiʻo Choke i ulu nui ma kona pukaʻana, i loko o ka hālaʻi heʻumi makahiki i hala aku nei i ke kenekulia o ka kenekulia, ua hāʻule ka lawaiʻa. I ka wā i hāʻule ai ua'āina lā i ka makahiki 2004,ʻo ka lawaiʻa wikiwiki houʻia. I nā makahiki he 5 i hala iho nei, ua kuʻiʻo Choke i nā kīhālua pālua.
Hiki i nā lawaiʻa ke hele i Choke Canyon ke manaʻo e loaʻa i ka iʻa ma o kekahi o nāʻanoʻelua. Ma o nā mahina mālie, e manaʻo i ka iʻa e pā i nā puʻupuʻu āpau -ʻo nā poppers, nā buzzbaits a me nā rana - e pili ana i nā moena hydrilla. I loko o nā malama wela nui, eʻimi i nā iʻa e kauleʻa a puni ka hohonu. ʻO kēia kaʻaoʻao ma waho o nā mea ulu ma nā kauwela a me nā kūhaka kūikawā paha i nā kaukoku wai kahiko ma ka hoʻoilo.
I ka hohonu o ka iʻa, kahi moemoekaʻo Texas,ʻo ka luʻu hohonu o ka pīpī a iʻole ka punu lele ke alaʻoi loa.
ʻOiai nā wahi kokoke loa i Choke Canyon, he nui loa ka nui o nā meaʻai, a me nā wahi hoʻokipa i hiki i nā malihini kipa.
Aia kekahi o nā meaʻai i kaulana loaʻo Nolan Ryanʻo Waterfront Steakhouse a me Grill, aia ma waho o ke kai,ʻo ia hoʻi ka Hale Ranch a me ka Staghorn Inn, aia maʻelua mau kūlanakauhale ma ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Three Rivers. Aia kekahi o nā hale hou i kahi o ka mokuʻo Choke Canyon Lodge, kahi kokoke i ke kai, kahi pōkole wale nō mai ka haleʻaina o Nolan Ryan. Aia ma kahi e pili ana i ka haleʻainaʻo Ryan ka Bass Inn. Hiki i nā'Āpanaʻekolu, ua kūpono ka'Āpana Hoʻomaha Inn ma kahi kokoke i ka haleʻainaʻo Staghorn Inn. ʻO nā'Āpana Loa Loaʻekolu a me ka EconoLodge he mau koho maikaʻi nō hoʻi no nā mea kilokilo eʻimi ana i wahi e noho ai.
