Texas Fish Report

Conditions are excellent and we are hooking trophy sized fish every guide trip! The icing on the cake is the quality browns showing up in 10 feet or less. No algae, the weed lines are easy to read and meter, and the bite is steady & consistent most days especially when you get any texture to the surface. The average fish here is smaller than Crowley and you will see some planted rainbows in the mix, but overall it is a fun a beautiful place to fish.

The goofy thing here is the lack of chironomids. I am seeing more callibaetis, dragon, crane, & damsel flies than the large still water midges. Knowing this - be armed with PT's, Killa baetis, and damsel fly nymphs for still water nymphing. On the high pressure days you will see plenty of smaller midges so I suggest you hang a broken back, or midge larva/emerger #16-20 as your dropper below the PT, baetis, etc. The key here is to keep your flies on the mud, not in the weeds. Fish are spread out in 5-12 feet.

The streamer fishing is also excellent using damsel and dragon fly nymph imitations. Get your fly down 5-8 feet and you will get bit along the weed lines in BuckeyeBay and the Walker Channel. There are also good reports near the launch ramp and Rainbow Pt. areas with far less issues with the weed beds.

Get the hot scoop from Jeffery at the Bridgeport Marina alias, "sheep-is erectus", or the "sheep whisperer" and he will set you up with the best flies and can help you out with all of your fishing needs here.
