This will be the third year I have been involved, and I can say the last two years were a great time, amazing the fish that were caught, and the prize pool was fantastic. This is well worth your time to look into; I learned a lot about fishing for our “exotic” local fish.
Everyone had a great time on the fishing trip to the Llano on Wednesday the 23rd. Six of us went. It was a frosty 32 degrees when we got there but warmed up to a balmy 50 or so in the afternoon, The state had just stocked the day before and we caught plenty of nice 10″ to 14″ rainbows. Ron showed us how it was done by catching 4 in the first few minutes we were there, so we all followed him around since he was the master! Everyone caught a lot of nice fish. They were hitting a wide variety of flies from eggs to soft hackles to San Juan worms to even a few imitation pellets. Lunch was great at the Castell Store and a chance to warm up your hands and feet.
I posted this once before and got comments that ranged from don’t fish after April and we should be fishing for bass instead. I refer all to the email put out by trout unlimited.

Ladies and Gentlemen It's April 1st and the seasonal leases are now closed. Also the Scott Lease has been sold. It was a year round lease and technically still open, but let's not fish there either till I contact the new owner. I do suspect we will loose this one too as the new owner plans to build right away. The leases that remain open are: Maricopa, Rio Raft, #5, Action Angler, Gypsy River, River Bluff, Lower Rio. You can still fish several of the commercial outfitters by paying an access fee: Whitewater, Lazy L&L, Rocky Beach, Mountain Breeze, Bezdek's. There is still some Trout fishing to be done before water temps get to warm to ethically fish for them. Watch your water temps and aim away from the tubers. We still may get enough rains to fill the lake to pool. If that happens and we get our sustaining summer flows we'll be able to fish through till fall. But we would need significant rains between now and May 15th. The lake is about 3 1/3 feet low as of today. Anything is possible, pray for rain!

I want to assure everyone that we practice excellent stewardship for the river and its trout population. All of us keep track of the water temperature and measure before fishing.
THEREFORE, I AM REPUBLISHING THIS POST
