Thanks guys!
Texas has some wonderful clear water rivers, full of variety and challenge. I'm pressed to fish out West, if my experiences here at home, hadn't been realized. I can honestly say, nailing every species on the Guadalupe with artificial baits can and will prepare anyone for anything anywhere else in the world.
River fishing clear water Texas rivers eliminates electronics and high tech tools, to get an edge on your quarry. The visibility and water depth is so clear and tight, you have to stalk into position to deliver the cast. One blown section, missing a mark and or casting piont, you give it all away and these fish will simply shut-down. They know you are there, they clear and lock up and it becomes GAME OVER.
I've fished the Guadalupe and Pedernales Rivers all of my life. Canoes before kayaks and wading sections of river for miles during the lower water conditions of summer, have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.
When it comes to fishing, the passion of learning, the excitement of the experience in pursuit and reading weather, water and conditions, has never waned. I joined the US Coast Guard to stay professionally employed living, breathing and working connected to water, in order to stay close to my passion of fishing.
Hill Country rivers and streams, go back well over 40 years for me now. A day on any one of our Hill Country Rivers is an absolute joy, fish or no fish....either is fine with me. We have been blessed with a river system that is literally very rare for clear water, spring fed river systems. We have an abundance of wildlife, insects and habitat bordering these river eco-systems, that if and when we slow things down, and take it all in, the experience alone provides the fuel to return, over and over again. Our Hill Country river habitats are very unique and rare. Every species of North American bass can be had in our rivers. Guadalupe, Smallmouth, Largemouth, Rockbass & Stripers - all, can be caught on our river systems. As it is chasing big game and setting goals, having an opportunity to catch all of our gamefish species in some of the most beautiful Texas settings, is a major incentive for me to go wide open in pursuit. We read about places faraway...yet, many of us don't realize, our opportunities here, are as novel and rare, as regions that we dream about.
This is life....not a pass-time for me. I live to do this and only work, so I can afford to do these things. The hours, miles and years...overtime, it simply comes together...it's what I've always lived for.
On the Pedernales with Grandpa Z....a flame that never quit.
