About Your Trip

Guided fly fishing trips targeting largemouth, smallmouth, guadalupe bass and trout.

**Guadalupe River**
The fall and winter months find us chasing trophy sized Rainbow and Brown trout on the Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake Dam. The efforts of Texas Parks and Wildlife along with the Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited chapter have helped make this river one of the top trophy trout fisheries in the U.S. Catching trout in the 20+ inch range is very common. Tyler offers half or full day raft fly fishing trips from mid October through the Spring months.

**San Marcos River**
The San Marcos River is one of our top Bass fishing destinations in TX. An abundance of trophy sized Largemouth bass, Guadalupe bass, and Tyler's favorite, the Smallmouth Bass. We offer Full or Half day float trips on a beautiful remote stretch of river near Martindale TX. Its tough to beat throwing deer hair poppers off the banks and getting absolutely BLOWN UP by an angry bass! Come spend a day on this beautiful spring fed fishery with Tyler and see what the talk is all about!

**Blanco River**
The Blanco River is another great bass fishery located just outside the small town of Blanco TX. We spend many days on this river during the early spring and summer months. An otherwise not so pressured fishery, the Blanco offers great opportunity of catching big bass on the fly. We offer full and half day float trips on the Blanco!

For Half Day trips, Tyler only provides ice, water and any special request beverages you would like to enjoy. So make sure to bring snacks if you think you might need them! Everything is provided on his Full Day Trips.

This was pur second trip with Tyler. We went a little earlier in spring and the temps were cooler, but the fishing was hotter! Great guide in an amazing location. We caught large mouth upto 5.25lbs, lots of 3 lb+ fish and a few smallmouth as well.

We had a great time with Tyler. He was an awesome guide, put us on fish and helped us with casting and we ended up had nice fish on fly and spinning gear. Devils River is an amazing place and worth the trip. Tyler made a great camp chef... we will be back for sure
