Fishing Adventures...

       Fishing a crystal clear Hill Country river from a kayak is simple, fun and oh yes . . . very exciting!  Half of the excitement is seeing what’s bending your rod and pulling you and your boat across the water.  Whether it’s a strong river bass, a fat sunny, or a channel cat (these channel cats often hit top water lures), it’ll get your adrenaline pumping and put a smile on your face.  This fishing is not for those who want to fill a heavy stringer or catch that 10 pounder, but for those who enjoy beautiful water, gorgeous scenery, abundant wildlife, isolation and a great adventure.   Oh yeah, you‘ll catch a few fish as well (163 fish in a 12 hour day is our current record for one angler).  The norm is around 30 to 40 fish a day.  Don’t be misled; there are BIG fish in these beautiful settings.  Some trophy smallmouth and enormous sunfish make themselves available.  Not to mention the largemouths, up to seven pounds, that are known to patrol the holes along the rivers.

The spring-fed rivers we fish contain an incredible variety of fish.  You’ll have the opportunity to catch several species including:  Guadalupe bass (Texas’ state fish), largemouth bass, spotted bass, smallmouth bass and a hybrid bass  (smallie and Guadalupe mix),  six species of sunfish, Texas Blue Cichlid  (a tropical fish), spotted gar, and channel catfish.

  All of the rivers demand some physical ability.  The easier rivers to float/fish are the South Llano and the San Marcos.  The Llano and Blanco rivers are a bit more physically challenging with more portaging involved, depending on water flow.

          We live here so when there’s a warm day we’ll hit the river and fish year round, but our favorite season is late March through November.  We offer several different trips to appease the fisher and adventurer in you.  Our typical fishing day lasts from 8 - 12 hours (depending on when you get tired of catching fish or it gets dark) and covers 5 to 10 miles.  We fish with light spinning tackle and flyrods from our kayaks. Bring both if you wish.  We provide the guide, kayaks, paddles, PFD (personal flotation devices), shuttle, drinks, lures, lunch and a fishing adventure you won’t soon forget.
