Here is the information on my fly fishing for white bass yesterday.

I put in my kayak at the Rebecca Creek road crossing over the Guadalupe and paddled down 1.5 miles to a place where a water falls prevents white bass from going any more upstream.  On google map there is a business icon called Rock Bed Stop at that location.  From there down about the next 600 yards I got white bass takes.  I was really surprised that I had the place to myself for the first 2 hours, then a nice young man from New Braunfels, also fly fishing, showed up.  Of interest–he just graduated from A&M and has an online fly tying business.  I have included a photo of his card as I am trying to get him to help our club with fly tying class.  I had about a dozen hook ups and landed nine white bass, all on small clouser like patterns in black and white and dark red and white.  All fish were males and have not spawned yet so fishing should be good for at least another 10 days and will get even better when the females get there.  With a motor boat one can get to this location coming up stream from the lake. Fish put up a really good fight–a 3 weight rod would be just about ideal for them.  Also had first fillets for supper last night and they eat well.

Our February meeting was called to order by Dan Cone and featured Chris Johnson and a presentation on the Guadalupe River.  It covered many things and was a great help to those of us who have little experience on the river and those of us who “think” we know every thing about the river!!!!  Ha!!!!!  The meeting included introduction of new attendees at the meetings and as usual, a great raffle at the end of the meeting. I have included 3 slides that Chris presented that give his recommended nymphs, streamers, and dryflys for the Guadalupe.

DO NOT MISS CHRIS JOHNSON AT THE 27 FEBRUARY MEETING

FEATURING FISHING ON THE GUADALUPE

Chris Johnson has been fly fishing Central Texas for over 15 years and has spent countless hours scouting, researching, and fishing the rivers on which he now guides.  Chris grew up in Round Rock, Texas and cut his fly fishing teeth on the waters of Brushy Creek.  His home town had no fly shop, so after two years of guiding the area, Chris opened the doors to Round Rock’s first and only fly shop:  Living Waters Fly Fishing.  Living Waters is a full service fly shop that hosts Chris’ guide business and serves as a fly fishing education center to anglers of all ages.  Chris has guided over seven years and guides many hill country rivers including the Llano, San Gabriel, Colorado,
