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.
