The Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake is the southernmost trout fishery in the United States. Canyon Lake Dam was completed in 1964. Cold water released from the dam keeps the river cold enough to hold trout (they generally need water below 69 degrees) for about 8-10 miles. Since the 1970s the Guadalupe River Trout Unlmited (GRTU) chapter has stocked and focused on expanding the fishery. Each year the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and GRTU stock thousands of rainbow trout. Some survive the Texas summer heat and warming water, but most do not. The trout fishing season goes from about November-March, which is quite different from other parts of the country.

Steve Edwards, Tom Strawther and I headed to the scenic Guadalupe River for a fly fishing trip Feb.10-13. It was our first trip together this year. We normally have a trip or two earlier in the season, but life’s events just kept getting in the way. We decided to stay in a cabin at Hideout on the Horseshoe rather than our usual tent camping. It rained quite a bit Tuesday night, which confirmed our decision. We enjoy camping. But, not in the rain and mud!

Last year was a rough year for my fly fishing. Thus, I haven’t posted a fly fishing report in quite awhile. In fact, my last fly fishing trip was March 2025 and it was cut short due to weather and health issues. I had three trips scheduled for August-October but had to cancel them all due to health issues.

This is THE family friendly event of the year!
The May 2025 and 2026 JSSFS Trip Reports are available for viewing, see link2025 and link2026.
2026 JSSFS Trip Description:
Join us for our 23nd annual fun family fishing event and lunch on Saturday, May 2nd, at Damon’s Seven Lakes (D7L). This is a little later in the year than previously. Hopefully the water and air temperature will be warmer, allowing the fish to feed more actively. If you want to camp you may come after 3 pm on Friday, May 1st. Fishing is mostly from the shore, but kickboat, canoe, and/or kayaking are quite successful. Members are encouraged to bring guests. These guests are how we spread the word, and it is always good to have friends on the water. To learn more about how the Texas Flyfishers of Houston (TFF) Club’s John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular (JSSFS) event came about, please click this link for a video of Puck giving the explanation.

The South Llano Trip is in the works now. The Club has to pay for 2 cabins for 3 nights regardless of how many people come and stay. We are also have other lodging locked in next door. This annual Club trip is one of the few opportunities to get out to the Hill Country and to fish one of the most productive rivers in the State. 2023 year’s event was cancelled due to weather, so please consider making your plans ASAP.

Here is a the link to last week’s fishing report.
4 anglers came out to fish.
Friday Glen and Puck fished from watercraft, kickboat and kayak.
2 camped Friday night.
A lot of stories shared around the fire with Matt A, Thomas H, Hugh R, and Puck. Glen was able to join for a while, before heading home.
Tom S. came out after coffee to join the group with his kickboat.
The topwater bite was amazing for the late afternoon and early evening on Friday.
Saturday morning the fishing was great. Early afternoon the wind came in, and we all left.





I wanted to get on the water, but I think there will be too many people at my favorite state parks.
So the new plan to be at Damon 7 Lakes at 1500 on Friday, 2025-05-23. The weather is supposed to sunny, and extremely warm, according to the weather guessers.
Bring a camp chair, snacks, and plenty of water.
My plan is to use my new kickboat, fish in the dark, and camp overnight.
$35 guest fee for any that feel the need to at least throw a fly.
