SUPER CONGRATULATIONS Allan to catching a nice fat Hybrid Sunfish and your two pending Cibolo Creek Records! Enjoyed the day and hope to have a few more trips with you. Loved seeing you spot those fish! Again congratulations on your pending records.

I had a really special day yesterday meeting a friend and going fishing. If you know or have friends that brighten your day or just make your whole day hanging out with them you will know what I mean when I say this. Chuck (a.k.a. Banker) is a quality person and a guy that will brighten your day just hanging out with him. We caught fish yesterday and that was the bonus to a great day. His attitude, knowledge of the fish and advice are top notch. I dont think I have ever met anyone that teaches what he knows as well as Chuck. I cant wait until the next trip to hang out with my friend. I want to say " Thanks, Chuck for a great day and I cant wait until next time".

Congratulations Allen on your two records. Nice fish. Looks like you guys had a blast. That creek seems to be a great fishery. I have never seen a bad report from there. Allen did you use any top water flies?How were the results?
Chuck: What is your take on Crescent Bend? Fishing pressure,condition,etc?

I did use a few poppers but ended up catch most on a sinking fly. The bite I think was more of a reaction bite than a feeding bite!!

Looking at the records section on the Parks&Wildlife Web site there are a lot of open fly rod records across the State! Hope you get a few more! Again congratulations on the two you just got on the Cibolo.

Chuck: What is your take on Crescent Bend? Fishing pressure,condition,etc? Crescent Bend has always been a good fishery. During the spring through the fall months you can usually find a good quality of fish. There is a lot of fishing pressure on that part of the creek. The pressure is only going to get worst as more and more people are moving into the area. As long as people respect and keep the area clean generations to come can enjoy it!

Nice fish Hunter498. Congratulations on your records! Nice job on the fly! Side Note: What color fly? Also was the bite aggressive? I usually use my 3 weight when fishing Crescent Bend. Great spot to fish.

The small yellow popper is a good fly, but I have had the most luck with a small sinking fly. The Rios have a small mouth and it seems they like a smaller fly!

The Rios I have caught this year on the fly had a very light bite. I was using a small sinking fly chartreuse/yellow in color. Pretty good results. Going to use some poppers this weekend!

The Rio bite all year has been a good one. Their bite has been extremely light. Really had to do a lot of "line watching"!

Totally agree on the light Rio bite. It's still a very light bite. Caught a few yesterday and you could barley feel the bite. Had to watch the line movement.
