What is the report on the river for super bowl Sunday? Are the whites still up river?

Went Thursday from the airport ramp, all the way up to the rapids. Had them all to my self. Limited out by 13:00. All were caught on 3 inch sassy shads on a roadrunner head. Had an absolute blast. Had to drag over the sandy shallows, but it was worth it. only 6 out of 25 were females, all others were males. Took home a couple of catfish too. Gotta go back soon! texas

Went yesterday around noon and fished south again. Fish were still there but had a hard time getting them to bite. Once the wind died down in the evening the bite really turned on. Ended up with 45

Has anyone ever tried the "Float N Fly" technique to catch white bass. I've seen videos on the Float N Fly looks like it really works wonders. According to some of the experts it's a winter technique used to catch smallmouth bass, however they say it will work anytime of year for a variety of species. I bet the technique works well with white bass what do you all think?

Should work but there's only one real way to find out! I've got a technique that I Lear ed in the creeks up in Dallas area I'm dying to try down here but have no boat and don't know if sitting under the bridge after a 2 hr drive is worth it. I need a boat and to fish. Sighs.


Politicians, baseball players, high-powered corporate CEO's they all seem to eventually let us down. Nature, however, does not. Look to her for inspiration and you will learn the secrets to living a good life. The most Important lesson it would seem is to make sure you spend as much time fishing as anything else.

Never tried it and not really sure what it is. Would have liked to tried it on Friday. High water and mud = NO FISH. First skunk of the year. Not sure how long it takes to recover but nothing we tried for six hours drew even the slightest hit....


Good Fishing!

So has anyone been back yet? We will try again tomorrow. Water level and flow is back to where it was before the rain and it warmed up again. This may be the last trip, more rain coming next week. I'm a believer on that now.

Please report back Jig. We went 2 weeks ago and did good. Been seeing the rain messed it up last week, but were planning on going back out on Sunday. TIA

I would give it a try.
It may still be a little off color but you can probably find areas that are fairly clear like around the riffles.


Just one more cast!

Tried it yesterday. Lucky to find 10"ers for the stringer. Tons of tiny whites but none over 10.5". Found em super shallow about as far north as you can go from airport without dragging your kayak for a long while on the rocks.

Had the river almost to ourselves. Five yaks and we were the only motor boat. With only one truck in the lot at 930 we were not encouraged....however, after dragging up as far as we could go and working back we got 2 limits from 11 to 3. About half big females, some over 15". None gravid, all have dropped their eggs. Gar and carp are showing up. Guess it's about over. Water still dirty but fishable where running.

Thanks for the reports fellas. Im just glad I got a part of it this year for the first time. Sounds like I won't make it back out there, but I will be at Braunig and Cali frequently the next few months.
