A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Jamie! Watching you making those pin point cast with that flyrod was simply awesome. Your determination on getting your target Rio truly paid off! Again congratulations on your two Cibolo Creek record fish! Side Note: Had a BLAST! Looking forward to the next time!

1960texan the fish should be super active in and around the Hill Country. They are in their fall feeding pattern for sure. There is also another cold front arriving Saturday. Next week should be AWESOME!

That's what I love about you Chuck. Always praising, complimenting and encouraging your friends and fellow fisherman. Your incredible hospitality and the effort you put into helping other fisherman be successful is to be admired. What an absolutely incredible day of fishing. One of the greatest ever There was one point during the day that I found a colony of redbreast that were all in that half pound range. They were against the bank in the roots under the branches of a small tree. It was a moment that really makes fly fishing special. The joy of target casting a popper into a difficult spot and then seeing a fish smash it. Even when they miss it your heart speeds up. I stood in that one spot and caught about 20 before moving on. I learned an incredible amount about Rios as well. I learned I need to fish them more like I do a bluegill vs. what I do for sunfish. Slightly smaller flies, but in general, the same patterns. Briminators and slightly smaller poppers worked the best for me, just like they do for bluegill. I also got to tour the Dewey estate and see all those magnificent fish mounts, awards and other memorabilia associated with the 289 records Chuck holds. Absolutely incredible!!!!!! Thanks Chuck, I can't wait for the next time.

What a fantastic day of fishing. Good job guys! Also Congratulations J-Moe on your two records and your Big Fish Award. I got my first trophy Rio on the fly last year on the Guadalupe. Great fight. What type of fly were you using on the Rio? Also what weight was your flyrod? Again congratulations on the record fish!

Yes, I tried a lot of different subsurface flies. I caught a few on briminators only.
