trip description for Hill Country Bass Trip in New Braunfels

Come join Captain Trey on this fishing adventure in New Braunfels, Texas! You'll be fishing the San Marcos, the Guadalupe, or the Colorado River, depending on the fishing conditions and season! All of these rivers are pretty much jammed with great fish, so you can hook a mixed bag of Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and even White Bass! Don't worry if you're new to fly fishing - Captain Trey is happy to teach you all the tricks of the trade. You'll have a blast reeling in these feisty fish and bragging to your friends about your catch. On this trip, you'll be fishing from Trey's 12' drift boat, which is ideal for river fishing because it can easily move with the current and can get into shallow riffles and slow seams where fish like to hang out. As you cast your line and wait for a bite, you'll also be treated to stunning views of the surrounding environment. There are plenty of birds, deer, and other critters here to keep your eyes open for. Plus, with Captain Trey at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable guide who knows all about the Hill Country environment. He also provides all the rods, reels, and flies, so you just need to bring some sunscreen and a good attitude. Get out there and enjoy a fantastic fishing trip on one of Texas' beautiful rivers!

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

trip description for Brazos River Drift Trip in Granbury

Enjoy this trip on one of North Texas' most beautiful rivers—the Brazos. You'll be in a perfect place to catch over ten species of freshwater sportfish, all while surrounding yourself with some of the best scenery this part of the state has to offer. From November to February, Texas Parks and Wildlife stocks this section of the Brazos with Rainbow Trout, so you can get a Rocky Mountain fly fishing experience without having to leave the state. This trip is a great "mixed bag" adventure, and because Bass, Trout, Gar, Cats, and Crappie all eat some of the same bugs, you never know what species is going to blow up your fly! Wade trips are also a great way for you to work on technique by receiving specific, one-on-one instruction from a professional fly fishing guide. Your guide, Ben, will provide everything you need for an epic trip, including rods, reels, tippet, and flies. The fish are biting—what are you waiting for?! Read More

    Attentive, helpful, got us on fish. Great guy to float the Guadalupe with. I recommend him any day that I am not planning a return trip

    Christopher G. with Kevin S. of New Braunfels, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Kevin was fantastic! Super informative, very patient and treated us like kings. We couldn’t been happier with him as a guide. And he put us on fish and knows the River like the back of his hand. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed.

    David M. with Kevin S. of New Braunfels, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Another great day out with Chris. We found lots of rainbows up to 18" and even a Guad bass and my first perch on fly anywhere!

    Simon S. with Chris J. of New Braunfels, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great day with Chris. Ended up with 5 rainbows, all between 12" and 18" which is a good day wherever you are. When you have that on beautiful day in the stunning Texas Hill country is it hard to beat as a fishing experience. Well worth the trip from Houston and I be back to fish the Guadalupe again before the spring.

    Simon S. with Chris J. of New Braunfels, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    As a beginner, I was nervous to go out on my first fly fishing trip, but Chris made the experience incredible! I was able to reel in 4 fish (my boyfriend reeled in another 5), including some rainbow and brown trout. However, the best part wasn't actually catching anything but learning the technique and patience that goes into fly fishing. Chris was a great instructor! Would absolutely book again or recommend to a friend!
