I plan to test out a couple of kick-boats Saturday afternoon, 2023-05-27 (~1400), and fish until dark. If you want to join in, there would be a guest fee, but the fishing should be great! Contact "Puck" for any details.
Mason R. and his father had a great time at D7L!
12-14 May 2023. Float the South Llano River, targeting Guadalupe Bass, Rio Grand Perch, and feisty sunfish. Three days fishing out of Bon Ton Roulet Campground

Fed 20 2023 Harmon Creek Day Trip: Fishing for white bass as they run up Harmon Creek out of Lake Livingston on their spring spawn.
See post for sign up details.
Trip Lead: Eric Richardson
CANCELLED OUTING: Storm did a number on the River. Flows too high. Sat, Jan 28 Wading West Fork San Jacinto Hitting deep pools, log jams etc. with a target on bass and sunfish. River bottom can be sandy, muddy, and you will need to traverse brush. This wade is characterized as “moderate”. My thoughts are to wade downstream for a couple hrs, then turn around and head back up to the car park. This is “Wade #4 ” out of Robert McConnell’s new book Fly Fishing Houston and Southeastern Texas, which is available on Feb 7. Call or Email leader (No Evite will be set up)

We fly fished for everything in the river but primarily were catching Guadalupe Bass mixed in with a few pan fish. Guadalupe Bass are native to only a few Texas Rivers in the Edwards Plateau and can't be located anywhere else. They are smaller than large mouth bass but fight ferociously for their size. We had a 25-30 fish day and were tired and happy at the end.
Our current Freshwater Chair is ready to pass the reins. The duties of this chair are to coordinate, but not necessarily lead, the club’s freshwater fishing trips. If you are interested, get in touch with “Puck”, Chris S. Eric R. "Q", Taylor G. or John E.
