I am trying to figure out how to get to a "short list" of the "TOP 10" public freshwater locations to fly fish in Texas, and I bet you all can help. I figure we narrow it down here, then create one of those fancy "polls" to tighten it down a little more. So pick your tops (doesn't have to be 10) in one post reply, in order - #1 being favorite - all inside the State of Texas. Then, if this doesn't fall apart, maybe we can open a "New Can of Shrimp," and come up with a "Top 5" Texas saltwater fly fishing locations. If these lists already exists (and is fresh), somebody feel free to send me to it please!

My Number 1 is fishing inside the Bass Pro Shops. I would have thought it would get more pressure but I hardly ever see anyone else fishing there. My #2 is the Koi Ponds at the Ft.Worth Arboretum. JP

#1 Texoma
#2 Purtis Creek
#3 farm tanks
#4 Frio River
#5 Llano River
#6 lighted docks, Cedar Creek (any body of water with lighted docks I suppose) sandbass and hybrid action.
#7 wadable creeks

Richland College Pond
Trinity river underneath 30
Bachman lake
Orvis parking lot
The lagoon at the state fair of Texas

Previous to the Memorial Day floods:
San Marcos & Blanco Rivers (the fishing's coming back, but slowly)

Carp flats on Roberts
Elm Creek and Indian Creek in the spring
Moss lake in the summer

6 below pk dam view is as good as the fishing
7 below Whitney during generation
