Fall Fly Fishing Fest
Last Fall, James our technical guy got an e-mail from Ken Caid of the
Texas Hill Country River Region inviting us to a fly fishing event on
the Nueces River at the Chalk Bluff Park camp ground about 15 miles
north of Uvalde on Hwy. 55. We decided this would be a good outing for
us and a fun trip for Madison my grandson. There wasn’t a huge turnout
but those that showed were enthusiastic and ready to fish. There were
about 25 ready and willing fly fishers.

For all of you anglers that are new to Texas, the hill country area to
the West and North West of San Antonio holds some of the most beautiful
river settings in the state. Rivers such as the Nueces, Frio, Guadalupe,
Llano, and Pedernales have many, many miles of absolutely pristine and
crystal clear fishing waters. These beautiful rivers are full of native
Guadalupe bass, bluegill, rock bass, catfish, crayfish, and Rio Grande
perch. All of these species are great fishing targets for the young
beginning angler or the experienced fly fisher. Much of the access to
the rivers has to be through private land with the permission of the
owner or through state parks or private campgrounds that welcome
overnighters for a nominal fee. Most of these campgrounds have all of
the necessary amenities for a very rewarding camping experience.
We had a great afternoon and my grandson really enjoyed himself even
though he didn’t get to fish. He knows we will be back several times
this coming year and it is really good fishing in the Spring when the
fish are spawning and are aggressive. Hope to see some of ya’ll out
there in the Hill Country rivers.
