Texas Fish Report

We are waiting for the weather to cool down some before we begin drifting this area.?? I expect that we will have some opportunities around or shortly after Labor Day and my guess is that we will have the best early fall ever here.?? I am very much looking forward to drifting in September and October this year.?? It will be great!?? No word from the LADWP as to when they will back off the flows but I would not be too concerned with high water when the air temps begin to drop and the days shorten more.?? The water clarity is very good and the flows will not go higher this year we have been told.?? We expect a very normal drift boat season with low flows from November through March for sure.?? Last year we had 500cfs in January!??

The fishing is good in the wild trout area if you do not mind using battle ship chain to get those nymphs down.?? Fishing caddis dries during the low light periods are fun and the fish are very eager.?? Crossing is not safe at these flows.?? If you are going to wear waders make sure you have a wading belt securely fastened when using breathable type pants.

We have improved the materials and upgraded to a special Tiemco hook several of my streamer patterns for the 2007 season and they will out fish my originals and definitely those that are being sold as generics in shops and locations other than those we endorse.??Due to the volume of flies we have been able to sell in recent years we have discounted flies to the shops that carry our original patterns.?? This savings will be passed on to you.????
