The Frio river


A shot of the beautiful river.



All I have to say about this trip is O.M.G. I was lucky enough to fish on private property that is very secluded and never fished. This trip was probobly one of the best trips ever for me. I could wade infront of the fish and drop my fly in there face and i would hook up. These fish just dont know fear. Most everything was on the down side of the spawn and hungry. Saturday we must have cought 150 fish or more. The size wasnt the impressive part it was the pure numbers. On this trip there was some ultra light 2lb test fishing. For flys I used crystal buggers, bitch creek nymphs, gold ribbed hare's ears and prince nymphs. I also had some luck with a small sculpin. All the flys were good at this area though.

7-8 Rio grande cichlids that were bigger then a dinner plate
1 Catfish over 10lbs and 4-5 over 3 lbs
2 Bass over 3 lbs
15 Panfish bigger then my hand.

These fish were the prizes but the fact that we couldnt keep our hooks baited was the fun part.

Come on, come to poppa.




Nice cat on ultra light tackle
