O. C. Fisher Reservoir (also known as O. C. Fisher Lake, formerly known as San Angelo Lake) is an artificial lake located west of the city of San Angelo, Texas.With the financial support of the Upper Colorado River Authority, construction on the dam to form the reservoir was begun by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1947 and the lake was officially impounded in 1952.
The level of the lake can vary dramatically—with an over 96-foot range between its historical high and low—depending on the amount of rainfall in the Colorado River basin upstream. [19] The historic high level on the lake was 710.4 feet (216.5 m) above msl on December 25, 1991, a little less than four feet below the dam's top/spillway at ...
Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Texas.. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3).

During Hurricane Harvey, the level peaked at 109.1 feet (33.3 m) on August 30, 2017, becoming the highest recorded level for Addicks Reservoir. [8] Water retention at this level was 217,500 acre-feet (268.3 GL). Combined with the adjacent Barker Reservoir to the southwest, the total storage capacity is about 410,000 acre-feet (510 GL). [9]
