Great report and awesome photos Chuck! Our Central Texas guide to the Hill Country provides us with another gem I had not idea about. Awesome Sir LOL...I was thinking the same thing, J-Moe. Chuck is a regular encyclopedia of good places to fish!

Thanks guys for the replies. You would be surprised how many GREAT places Texas has to fish. Love making ROAD TRIPS! Leo: Can creek runs to the left of the pond. For what I was told at the park office and for what I saw this was a spring fed pond locked in by limestone cliffs! Friends of mine have told me in the past that both the pond and Sabinal River are good places to fish in the park. I did walk by Can Creek and it had water flowing!

Thanks Gitter for the reply. The pond is not part of the Sabinal. It is totally separate. The Sabinal River is stocked once with trout and the stocking takes place in Utopia.

I grew up fishing small creeks and spring fed ponds for trout in my native CO. This post takes me back in time. You keep posting things like this and I'm gonna have to take me a road trip and do some fishing down your way.

Thanks Flags! This years stocking season is just about over. You should put next years season on your road trip plans. It would be very much worth it! The Sabinal, Guadalupe,and Blanco Rivers are some beautiful places to fish! Side Note: The Sunfish bite is AWESOME also. Should be a GREAT year!

How are those rivers for public access and how hard are they to find access to for a guy not really familiar with the area? Any good maps you suggest?

How are those rivers for public access and how hard are they to find access to for a guy not really familiar with the area? Any good maps you suggest? These rivers have good public access. The Blanco river is on the Blanco State Park and there is also a lot of access on River Road that is just up from the State Park. There are also other parks on the Blanco in the San Marcus area not to mention the several crossings. The Guadalupe River also has a State Park off of HWY 46. Guadalupe State Park. There are also numerous river crossings and camps along River Road in Comal County. The Sabinal River runs through Lost Maples State Park and the Frio River runs through the Garner State Park. There are several public areas for the Nueces River that are along HWY 55 in Uvalde County and Real County. The rivers are in pretty good shape.

Thanks Curtis for the reply! Lost Maples is very fly fish friendly. Just about all of the State Parks that I fish seem to have plenty of spots to fly fish and wade.
