Thanks Will. Rios for the most part live 3 to 4 years max in ideal conditions. Life on the Sabinal can be pretty rough as a fish especially if the fish finds itself in a water bed that is not spring fed. They also have to dodge the Raccoons,Bob Cats,Possums,etc. That fish has led a hard life. I would say 3 years old. Just guessing.

I am sure one of her stories would be how she almost took J-Moe's fly and instead took Banker's night crawler and got caught!

Thanks Chuck, it was a great time, as always. Those were a couple nice Rios and a big bass you caught This was a whole new experience for me and I learned a lot. The fact that the creek bed is completely dry with the exception of spring feed deep holes about a 1/4 mile apart was something I never even knew existed. If I looked at Google Earth I would have dismissed the creek entirely. It was definitely unique and something I will remember.

Nice fishing guys. Bet some of those pockets hold some big fish. What kind of fish have you seen in those pools?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. I have seen a variety of fish. Sunfish,Gar,Carp,Rios,Channel Cats,and Bass. As Jamie stated the holes were about a quarter of a mile apart. Most of the holes are spring fed and do have water in them year around. Right now the springs are full. Would love to see one more nice solid rain the next couple of weeks. That would really help.
