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: West Fork San Jacinto: Sat, Jan 28; Wading for Bass/sunfish
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)
