If you're looking to spend a peaceful day fly fishing for Rainbows, this might be your trip. The Guadalupe River is one of the top 100 Trout streams in America, so whether you're an experienced angler or just giving it a shot, you'll have many chances to hook up a personal best! During the winter, this river is stocked several times by Texas Parks and Wildlife and Trout Unlimited, so by the time spring rolls around, it's ready to go! Riley is a top guide in this area, and he knows the river like the back of his hand. Cast out some dry flies, nymphs, streamers and enjoy the beautiful surroundings—but when you feel that tug, get ready to set your hook! There are some big fish in the deep holes and eddies, and they're just waiting for that fly to come their way. Read More

If you've ever wanted to nail big Carp on tiny dry flies, this trip is for you! Although when many fly anglers think "fly fishing", they're picturing Trout somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, Riley specializes in finding and hooking lowland species such as Carp and Bass. Catching a carp on the fly is hard at first, which is why your guide loves them, and he would love it even more if he could help you get on one yourself! When you go out with one of the guides to chase these feisty specimens you can expect to spend your day wading around lakes and river systems stalking your quarry stealthy and precisely. These fish are very aware of their surroundings, and you get no second chances. It’s either a perfect cast and presentation or the fish spooks, and often, the latter. When they do eat, however, you’re can bet your bottom dollar they're going to take you out to the backing! Certain times of the year, you can also target smallmouth buffalo on the fly, which grow even larger than carp, and are actually indigenous to Texas waters. Teaching trips are also welcomed for folks that have never held a fly rod. If this trip is more in line with your skill level, you can expect it to be more centered around the fundamentals, rather than finding and catching a fish, but it won't be too long before your out to the backing on a giant carp as well!
