Texas Fish Report

I have some sad news to report regarding a fire that has burned about 1200 acres along Chalk Bluff Road on the river. Most of the wild trout section has burned. The fire started Sunday March 16th around noon and is still smoldering this afternoon. I have put some pictures on the web fish report (long distance) to show where the fire started.

It spared the campground and the footbridge. It emanated about 1/2 mile downstream from the footbridge. Sources tell me that it was contained upstream from the cement plant.

An investigation is being conducted, but we are told it was from an illegal campfire. This is the fourth fire in three weeks on the river in the Bishop area. All have been from man made causes. We are bummed to say the least. The drift boat sections have only one section that has burned and are in great shape and fishing well for those concerned about booked trips this spring.
