I've actually thought about hauling my boat up there to chase striper. I'm closer to Freeport, but it gets so nasty after a saltwater trip....

14. Canyon Tailrace/Guadalupe River: Free access is provided at the tailrace area just below Canyon Dam. Please note special regulations are in effect from the second bridge crossing on River Road upstream to the easternmost bridge crossing on FM Road 306. In this area, there is an 18-inch minimum size limit, a one trout daily bag, and the restriction that only trout caught on artificial lures

This is exactly the section of water I'm most interested in.

On a basic level fly fishing isn't very hard. The simplest techniques are the fundamentals and you can usually get by with those.

Most the time, my casts are short, or I'm even just flipping the fly above a riffle or rock on a stream about as wide as a lane of traffic. The whole River Runs Through It thing is a little rare unless you're up in Montana or something.

Here is some more fly fishing porn:

Just a few flies





Hey little fella



If anyone wants to join me on the Guadalupe when I go in Dec I'll bring extra fly gear you can try out. Of course, one could always just spin-fish the river.

I'm mostly of the mindset that fly rods are for freshwater trout ;)

If its saltwater, I use conventional gear usually.

Just wondering.

I've been fly fishing since about 2002. Living in Utah made learning a breeze, with lots of fishable water all over. Not an expert by any means, know enough to guess at what flies to use and what water to fish. Favorite fish are Brown trout and Brook trout, especially since they aren't particular about what they eat.







I picked up a 3wt from Cabelas a few years ago and it's hands down my favorite rod. Casts like butter.

Probably hitting the Guadalupe in Dec for some camping, fly fishing, and rum consumption
