WTG on the catchn guys, I'll be purchasing a yak soon to join in on the fun but I've had fun banking it on the river too....
Here are a few I've caught recently.....Not that bass are my target species but they are welcomed....

Anyone launch near the Woodshed off University? I love fishing that stretch but with the Woodshed crowd, there is almost no place to park. Where do you park?

We have not yet fished that area of the river, but we REALLY want to. We were looking at parking in this area https://goo.gl/maps/6UZ89EWpKPs . How is the fishing there TCU?

You gotta get there pretty early if you want to be the crowds. Its more the runners/bikers than woodshed business though lol. AS far as the parking that Lmiller157 posted your best bet would be to drag/cart/carry the yaks down to the bridge cause the banks are too steep everywhere else to launch.

That section fishes hit or miss it can be tougher than others and there isn't much water to cover, Up stream past the golf course is extremely shallow and downstream near the little railroad bridge is roped off currently. Your time would be better spent elsewhere. Its a great bank fishing spot though.

Thanks for the info Nathan, and insider information you would be willing to pass a long for a case of beer! We have only fished around the panther pavilion (we enjoyed it), and we are also looking at an area near riverside golf course, but i have heard that area is shallow as well.

You mean Rockwood golf course? Some of the deepest water on the river in that section so not sure who told you it was shallow. I don't drink beer so you'll have to do better than that lol.

Sorry riverside is over near Arlington, and runs through River legacy park! I have yet to make it up to Rockwood, i am a little to fat and out of shape at the moment!

you can launch at rockwood. Their is a park where the road dead ends by the golf course. I just drive my truck down next to river and unload and park in parking lot. Never had vehicle issues there but I did happen upon a truck that had been vandalized and seemingly pushed down the hill into the river one morning while launching and had to call police. No one was inside truck thankfully. The river is always an adventure. If I can ever get enough time I wouldn't mind showing you around and giving you some info.

Rockwood Park Road is currently closed once you get to where it runs next to the golf course. I drove by there today at lunch.

Thanks Natahan! That would be awesome. I know all about not having free time. I have an 8 month old, that takes up all my time at the moment (unless mommy is being nice).

Ha funny you mention that! I have an 8 month old as well! Looks like we are in the same boat bro!

Well crud. I knew they were making improvements over there to the course but didnt know they had it shut down.

Just think before long we can take the little ones with us

Im totally ready for that day! I just hope he likes fishing as much as I do. If he does Momma is in trouble because we will be gone all the time! lol
