GRTU lease is open in case you missed it

Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited

We are proud to announce that the 2018 – 2019 Lease Access Program is open for enrollment. Some changes have been made to the Lease Access Program (LAP) for this upcoming season. The changes will not only help us increase satisfaction with the LAP, but are also intended to reduce the infractions to the LAP guidelines that can jeopardize our leases.

Fly Fishing Report

To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!

The fly fishing in Colorado continues to be great. School is back in session, and the crowds have greatly diminished. The Gunnison River continues to have some of the best flows and water temperatures in Colorado. There’s been some great success fishing hopper dropper rigs, and we’re seeing some amazing Trico and BWO hatches. Please contact us if you want to experience some great Colorado fly fishing through the end of September.

Back in Texas it’s starting to cool down and getting some much needed rain. Bass fishing on the Guadalupe has been good. Bass fishing on the Colorado, Llano, and the San Marcos are also good options. Flows on the Guadalupe below Canyon Lake are currently at 96 CFS. The Canyon Lake level is 4.5 feet low, so we’ll need more rain to continue to have good flows below the dam. Lots of anglers are experiencing great bass catches on surface and streamer patterns. Don’t be intimidated by the skills needed to fish the warm water species. By booking a half day trip or 2 hour lesson, we can provide the equipment needed and show you how to use it. We can also schedule 2 hour lessons for trout fishing. This is a great way to break into the sport, or improve skills prior to trout season.

I’d like to fill you in on the most recent news in the Texas Hill Country and west central Colorado.

News and updates:

1. Action Angler is a booking agent and guide for 1, 2, and 3 day float trips on the Gunnison River through the Gunnison Gorge and lower Gunnison River. This allows us to hold preferred dates for our clients. The Gunnison Gorge is thought of by many as a Top 20 Destination To See Before You Die, and also referred to as a mini Grand Canyon. The lower Gunnison River is an easier – paced section, with day trips starting at $600.  Please contact us for details.

Hello Folks,
