Guadalupe River Tenkara Fishing | Got Sidetracked... Oops!

While on the road a couple weeks ago, stopped in New Braunfels, Texas and fished the Guadalupe River at the River Access Park.

Opted for the Tenkara Rod as we were on the road and keeping things light. Worked out well, was able to get a quick trip in!

Caught little guys… looked like longear but did get sidetracked when I noticed a lingerie photo shoot was happening downriver.

Took a stroll downriver of course to scout the river for fish… wink, wink, wink!

Kayaking the Guadalupe #fishing #kayak #pelicankayaks

Had a fun Friday on the Guadalupe River kayaking and fishing. Water flow was slow; mainly paddled upstream and observed the “tube hatch” as we kayaked to the 3rd Crossing.

Did catch a couple of Bluegill and a little Bass. Caught one using a Kastmaster with its hooks removed and a trailing scud. Caught the other two using a Roostertail.

Although the fishing was slow, gotta a good workout in paddling upriver and downriver! Happy 4th of July!

Another Try on the Guad...

Fished a new place just downriver from Mountain Breeze Resort.  Promising area in the Trophy Zone.  Only managed to catch a Longear Sunfish on a COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly.  Did see two other fishermen, who caught a Trout and lost a Trout.  Good to know there are fish lurking in the area!

Fishing the Guad... at Huaco Springs!

Decided to give the Guadalupe River a try this morning.  Opted for Camp Huaco Springs as it was recently stocked last Friday.

When we arrived, could see the Rainbow Trout swimming about. NucLaroche worked one side of the river with an Ultralight Spinning Rig and caught two with PowerBait and three on a homemade Super Duper.

Fshng84 worked the other side using Fly Fishing Gear and caught four on a Prince Nymph and one on a COAF Guadalupana!

Fun stuff... with two limits taken on a chilly but sunny day!

They Do Have a Few Nice Sized Ones Down There...!

Was out in Gruene picking up more fishing flies.  Did notice the nice looking Rainbow Trout hanging on the wall.  This one went 22" in length; much bigger than the 16" one we caught the other dat at Rio Raft.  Is good to know they have a few nice sized ones down there!

Snow Delay... Here is Another Guadalupe River Article

Snow delay, so no fishing as we bundle up to stay warm.  Heard from some of our Readers that traffic is bad and the commute is longer than normal.  Also, heard some are without power.... for us, we are online but the latest storm did break a tree limb that "nudged" the house.  No damage luckily!

So, till warmer weather, here is another article that may be of interest to Readers planning a trip to the Guadalupe River.... "Guadalupe River by L&L Campground: Rainbow Trout Fishing".

Another Round at Rio Raft... Caught a Trout!

Fished the Guadalupe River at the Rio Raft access point today.  Was a really nice day, saw several Rainbow Trout but only managed to catch one!

It went 16" in length, too small for the minimum limit for the area we were fishing but still had a great time catching him.

Used a 6wt Switch Rod and a Tandem Midge and Prince Nymph Rig.  Trout struck the Prince Nymph!

Did work a pool for about an hour plus that had Trout feeding on something but could not get them to strike.

Tried midges, nymphs, dry flies, san juan worms, wooley buggers, guadalupanas,... the kitchen sink!  No worries though,... the 16" Rainbow Trout that went for the Prince Nymph was a great consolation prize!

Struck Out This Round....

Fished the Guadalupe River yesterday and Lazy L&L Campground along the Devil's Playground.  Hoped to hook another Rainbow Trout like the other day;no luck this round.  Still a nice day; even found a net that someone lost!

Rainy Day on the Guadalupe....

Fished the Guadalupe River at Lazy L&L Campground in hopes of a Rainbow Trout.  Started the morning by working an area called the Devil's Playground.  Things looked promising but ended up striking out.  Worked a Guadalupana, an Olive Wooley Bugger, and Midges without luck.  Someone else had a nice one take an Olive Wooley Bugger but it ended up breaking off.

Took a break around noon and stopped by the Reel Fly Shop for some suggestions... bought Trout Beads and went back after lunch to Lazy L&L.  Nice couple managing the store suggested trying up river.  Gave it a shot and had a few "ticks" on the Trout Beads but no hook ups.

Decided to go back to the Devil's Playground and work the upper pool and shallows.  Saw a couple of Trout feeding on (what looked like) midges.  But, could not get them to take a fishing fly.

Moved downriver and started fishing the fast water by the steps.  Tied on a Guadalupana (a bigger one than the one we used earlier) and started swinging it in the current.  Finally had a hook up; a Rainbow Trout that went about 14" in size. Released it as it did not meet the 18" minimum for that section of the river.

Long day in the cold rain fishing but still had a great time!

On The Guadalupe This Round

Had a chance to check out a place we never had fished yesterday.  Heard promising things about fishing the Guadalupe River at the Rio Raft Access Point.  It's in the special restriction section that has an 18" Minimum, 1 Trout per day limit and only artificials can be used.  No worries though, caught zero Trout but still had a good time.  Action was slow with only a little Bass and two Longear Sunfish caught and released.  Even better that we were the only ones fishing that section at times!

Quick Trip To Huaco Springs....

Made a dash to the River and fished Huaco Springs.  Limited in time and had to deal with strong winds, managed one Stocker Trout.  Little one that was released.  Still had fun, still beats working!

Guadalupe River....

Checked out the Guadalupe River this morning.  Small section located in the town of New Braunfels.  Water was flowing and did see some surface activity but no hookups save for a little Sunfish.  Next round will have to work upriver and see if a few Trout will bite!  Till then, it's back to the Metroplex.
