UPDATE: 1/30/25

The fishing has been phenomenal and continues to look that way! Our guided trips are crushing it out there placing lots of fish in the net. With the little rain from last night and this morning its bumped the flows up to 60.8CFS but it will more than likely go back to 55CFS. This up coming month the temperatures will be bouncing back and forth between 70’s and 40’s making excellent fishing weather. TPWD will be stocking tomorrow (1/31/25) and will continue into march. GRTU has had multiple stocking already and more to come.

Guadalupe River is currently flowing at 60.8CFS with river temps at 56 degrees, run off from this mornings showers have lightly stained the water but will clear up soon. In the mornings nymphing will be the most productive then as we get to the afternoon a dry dropper rig can be effective. Successful patterns have been size 16 Prince nymph, size 16-18 Pheasant tail, and size 12 Dark Brown Girdle Bug as point flies then following up with a size 18-20 Black Zebra Midge or size 18-20 RS2(Black/Grey). With a lot of new fish hitting the water the Red San Juan worm and roe orange egg will surly land some in the net. For dry flies size 16 Adams Grey, size 10 Chernobyl Ant, And Size 14 Stacked Sally will get some eats! Woolly Buggers in olive/Brown are super effective in the slower water.

San Marcos River is flowing at 129CFS with temps at 72 degrees. Top water frogs and Sam’s One Bug are successful patterns. Small dark streamers will produce some fish and the bass are still very active. Mop flies are effective for Brim and Rios.

Canyon Lake is 49.1% full all boat ramps are closed but don’t let that stop you from getting out there its ideal for kayakers and paddle boarders. Bass will be located along the hydrilla patches and drop off. Top water flies and streamers will get the job done.

We have all the flies listed above in the shop. For casting lessons or questions about trips shoot us a call (830) 964-4823. As always stay safe out there and we’ll see you on the water - Jordan Bracamontez
