"HUGE CONGRATULATIONS" to both Yesenia and Alan on ther record fish! I had a blast fishing with two GREAT ANGLERS and fishing in some very BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. Yesenia caught her record bass using a super ultralight rig with a Fluke. She caught several bass before getting the BIG ONE! It was also great to watch a MASTER FLYROD ANGLER at work! Good job Alan on getting your Flyrod records.

Gar1970 and his wife are good people to fish with. My wife and I met them off here and have fished with them a lot and have learned a lot from them. We live just down the road from them in camp wood, by the dam.

Great day with Chuck and new friends Leo and Yesenia. The scenery was fantastic and the bite was on fire. I cant say enough about Chuck and his knowledge of fish and his advice. Leo and Yesenia are really nice people and have beautiful place they call home. The whole day was one to remember for sure. I have to thank God for the new friends I have met, and the gorgeous places I am honored to fish. Thanks again to Chuck, Leo and Yesenia for having me!

That would be AWESOME if we can get a few anglers to go. There is a lot of public area to fish. Maybe we can even have a contest of some sort. I am pretty sure I can get some prizes for the winners. Most fish,Big Fish,etc. Just a thought! Or we can just fish! Which ever,it would be some good times. Side Note: Could even have two categories. Rod/Reel and Flyrod.

Holly Cow! That is one heck of an accomplishment getting six water body records in one day. Congratulations to you all! Looks like the W. Nueces is in pretty good shape. What is your take on the long term water conditions on the water bodies in that area?
Again huge congratulations on catching some super fish!

Thanks Gitter for the reply! Great water conditions make for good quality fish! The two anglers I was fortunate to fish with were simply outstanding! Both of them could probably catch record fish out of a mud puddle. As for long term conditions. With all of the rain that area has gotten and is continually getting the Nueces and Sabinal Canyons should be in very good shape next year and into the following year as well! Fished the Canyon yesterday and the rivers are up with GREAT flow! Side Note: The Nueces/Sabinal Canyon area got about 2 inches of rain yesterday.

Thanks Chuck for the information. I have also heard that the Nueces in the Three Rivers area has some good flow and is up. This means a pretty good white bass run is likely!

Super post and BIG congratulations on the record fish. What flies work the best and what types of spinner baits would you fish the canyon during spring? Will be there this upcoming spring with two friends. Will be fishing the Nueces and Frio Rivers.

It seems that the sinking flies worked best when we were there. Poppers did catch some fish but were not as effective!
