The Brazos River has been fishing exceptionally well lately with healthy flows creating ideal conditions for a true mixed-species experience. We’ve been seeing some very healthy bass eating on mouse patterns, and there are still several big females holding on beds.
The consistent water flow has really kept the action steady, leading to productive multi-species days. Along with largemouth smashing topwater flies, anglers are also finding solid numbers of spotted bass and freshwater drum throughout the system. One of the highlights recently has been encounters with oversized longnose gar, including fish pushing 48” and larger.

Carp fishing continues to improve as well, with plenty of opportunities at fish actively feeding in the shallows. Sight-fishing conditions have been good, and patient presentations are getting rewarded.
Overall, the Brazos is offering a diverse and exciting fishery right now with quality bass fishing, aggressive topwater eats, powerful gar, and consistent shots at shallow-water carp all in the same outing.
We had a couple of trips the last few nights and wanted to wait to send this over. We had a lot of rain last week, which caused the lakes to rise by 1-2 feet! With that, the big fish have followed, and fishing has been great. It will probably stay great going into the spring with all the water we have in our lakes.

Colder temperatures are bringing bigger buffalo fish into shallow waters. Expect great bowfishing opportunities in the coming weeks! We've had plenty of shooting chances recently. Bundle up and join us for a peaceful night of winter time bowfishing!

The high water we experienced in late spring early summer has set us up for an incredible summer. While the striper and white bass fishing has slowed down we have seen an increase in activity from other species.
Largemouth are good on poppers in the morning and late evening, while slow sinking streamers around brush and cut banks have filled the slower parts of the day.
Spotted bass have moved into the riffles in numbers and can be caught in all water columns. A popper dropper rig with any small streamer has brought a ton of doubles to hand.

Carp are in vegetation at sunrise and sunset, and can be found in slower water behind tail outs and riffles throughout the day. Crawfish, damsels, and jelly’s have put fish in the net.
Gar, drum, and sunfish have filled in slower parts of the day.
I booked this trip for my husband and he loved it! His guide Cody was great, very communicative. My husband caught a lot of fish and had a lot of fun. Thanks Cody!
We had a great float trip! Our guides, Cody and Mitch were fantastic!! They were very knowledgeable of the river how to get us on fish. We had a beginner that had never fly fish before and Cody and Mitch were very patient with teaching him how to cast and catch fish on a fly rod. I would highly recommend these guys for fishing on the Brazos!
