With flows dropping, (still 664 as of now) the wade fishing can and has picked up. Here are a few pictures of our club members out catching a few. Just remember to take a wading staff and watch your footing, things have probably moved around a bit with the high flows. Stop by Action Angler’s shop at the third crossing and get the fly’s that are working right now.
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.
Jeff O’Bara kept some of the stockers he caught at the LLANO!!!!
HE WANTED ALL TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had 26 fishermen show up at the meeting last night to see Dan Cone give a presentation on where and how to fish the Guadalupe river at high flow(400-600fps). In addition to the “where to fish”, Dan showed us how to rig our line and leader for this type of fishing. He showed us a 3 fly setup that used 91/2ft leader( mono) and 3 and 4 x (floro) tippet. First fly heavy one(ie wooly booger etc.), second fly(egg or worm pattern) and point fly( small soft hackle or midge pattern). All in all it was a great meeting and we look forward to seeing all of you next month.
