Event: Lavaca River

Trip Description:  We had so much fun a short time ago that a few of us need to get back out there. Here is the plan: Fish the Lavaca River near Lolita, Tx.   We will launch at the FM 616 boat ramp just west of Lolita, Tx.  Boats are preferable, but kayak fishing also available.  A variety of species inhabit this water, to include those typically thought of as saltwater.  Photo proof of the number of species, length etc.  This will allow bragging rights later. 

When:  Meet at 8:30am targeting launch at 9:00am.

Omar runs the fly fishing camps and has done so for quite a few years, bringing the skills and passion of the sport to the local youths.
