Launch will be at either Louis’s Bait Camp or Harbor Walk Marina in Hitchcock — I’ll decide closer to the date based on conditions.
Fishing areas will include Highland Bayou, Jones Lake, Basford Bayou, Greens Lake, and the Highland Diversion Canal.
Plan is:
Launch at 6:30 AM
Meet up for lunch between 12:00–1:00 to regroup and decide the afternoon move.
I’ll plan to meet the yaks for lunch so we can picnic on my boat like we’ve done in the past

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!

Trip Description, to be confirmed and updated:
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.
