Please review the information and leave a comment if you have either an interest or a solid intention of attending. The Official registration and a full description for the event will be in a 2-week window of opportunity beginning September 1 and closing around September 14. The early registration is needed to confirm the number of attendees and the number of RV sites and tent camping spots that will need to be reserved.
Date: Friday, October 4th through Sunday, October 6th.
Location: Spivey Crossing RV Park, 151 FM-1304, Aquilla, Texas 76622.
Lodging: This is a private venue with RV and tent spots with electricity and water. This isn’t an over night float trip. We will launch and finish each day at the RV park. Jerry will be on hand to lead the expedition and provide guidance.

Fishing: This will be primarily an opportunity to wade fish for the numerous species of game fish in the Brazos River. 5wt to 8wt rods recommended. Floating lines and the usual assortment of fresh water poppers and streamers are needed. (Carp are also in abundance in this river and tend to be large.)
Equipment Suggested: Kayak, canoe, or oar-powered inflatables. These craft are mainly used to get up and down the river to access deeper holes and wading opportunities.

Ray. The RV site fees were posted this morning on the TFF website. “Update September 3.”
If you go ahead and register, that would reserve your spot for the outing and for an RV spot.

Scouting Report
Robert Cowan and I made a trip along this section of water with guide Shane Davies of River Run Guide Service 17-19 September. Here are my observations and opinions.
• Turn-off to camping site coordinates: 31.796528, -97.299428. Look for sign: McCready
• Water better suited for paddle kayak than pedal
• Topwater flies floating line better than bottom flies due to algae
• Weedless conventional using 5” Yum dingers rigged 1/0 hook will catch a lot of LMB
• I’m looking into flyfishing with short plastics 9’ 6 wt
• Message me if you have questions
