TX Hill Country - September 11, 2022

[Neumie]

Got out today to see how our rivers looking since the all the rain we've received for the past few weeks. I'm glad to report I actually saw river flows. Which is huge. I scoped out several crossings to see what was what, and I caught decent bass at each crossing. Most were a pound or less, but I did land a 3ish and lost a 4-5ish lbs bass. I am beat down from today, one of the most tired I've ever been from wading a river, but it was worth it to see a healthy river and healthy fish.











Hard to tell in the photo, but this pair of bass were each over 4 lbs. Couldn't catch them no matter how hard I tried; once you get spotted by a big bass in clear water you are toast.



I went to another crossing which had great scenery and structure.





I did have to go through an illegal fence across a navigable stream. Luckily on the top strand was barbed-wire and the rest were smooth wire.





After the third crossing I was already whipped; so a cold beer and jalapeno & cheese summer sausage hit to spot quite nicely.

I caught some fish, experienced new Texas, and got to see how the rain of the past weeks impacted our rivers. Pretty good Sunday if you ask me.

Appreciate your report. I often fly fish in the Pedernales river and was shocked to see just a few isolated pools and no flow. This was in early August so hopefully it is improving.

Thanks for the report! I’d love to try fishing the rivers one day, it looks so peaceful, thanks for sharing and nice photos!
