Floating the Comal River

[zhall]

So, this will be the first time I have been here to float. I have a new yeti hopper 30 I would love to take with us. Is there a cooler regulation? Also, any seasoned floaters out there have any good tips about the river or things to do. Thanks

No cooler size regs .. But last I was there had a 6 beer limit per person

No regulations right now. The hoppers are great. I just tie mine to the tube and let it float next to me.

Awesome! I just got it as a groomsman gift. Way more than I was expecting.

The Comal is a really easy float and relatively fast float. Stop and post up somewhere occasionally. The tube chute can be slightly dicey, especially if you get caught in the eddy. Paddle to the right as you exit it. Hit up the Gristmill in Gruene for dinner.

Thanks for the advise. We planned on eating there tomorrow evening. Heard it's great.

Have fun! Can't wait for the 2 year old to get a little older so we can start our annual family float back up.


Here are the rules:

If you need a refill on beer or money, bring a set of goggles and fishing net and hangout below the tube chute lol

The hope should be great, last time we floated 2 years ago I had my tundra 65 with us. Just tied it to our tunes and let it float alongside. Even rode on it for a bit down the river.

Akey, Thanks for the regs post. I agree about the kids. I have a 3 yr old that would enjoy it.

Ultralite09, I'll leave my tight money friend down there to scavenge for me while I continue to float. Lol. My 65 was going for a swim until I was blessed with this hopper.

So the cooler has to have a locking mechanism on the comal? Does the regular latches count? What is a volume drinking device? A funnel I guess. Sorry for all the questions we always float in the county, but doesn't look like an option this year. So the can ban is gone right?

[zhall]

Sounds like latches would count. Can ban is gone. Pending I understood what I've read so far. Have been known to wrong a time or two
