Thanks Will for the reply. This report was the result of three trips. One today and two prior. I guess the first two would be considered late spring. All the water bodies are in good shape with plenty of active fish. Looking forward to fishing with Alan tomorrow. Side Note: Give me a call if you finish work early!

Isn't it great? We often go out to catch panfish, end up catching as many or often even more bass than someone rigged up just for them. When bass want to eat a small presentation, we are in business!
I almost always catch a few bass, some lately up to 3 lbs., while fishing ultralight gear.
Good pics! Good job!

Thanks Brad for the reply. Yes Sir you never know what is going to hit your bait while fishing for sunnies. Bass and catfish are the most common!

Great pictures It was overcast here yesterday and much cooler. The fish bite was better than it has been in weeks. We should have a few more days of overcast skies so I intend on taking advantage of it.

Good report Chuck. The second to last picture looks great for fly's, lots of room to cast. Seems like Greens are less common in Creeks down there than up here They are thick around DFW
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Nice Banker. You do fish some great looking creeks and rivers. Sure wish the Rio territory was just a little bigger to the north.

The furthest north I have heard a Rio being caught was in Waco. I would figure the Rios would be hard to find in that area due to the colder winters. I have seen a few reports of Rios being caught in Georgetown and there is a good population of Rios in the Austin area. The population gets better as you go south of Austin!

Nice fish Chuck. Does the sunfish bite slow down during the summer months? Have you done any night fishing this year?

Thanks Gitter for the reply! I personally think that during the dog days of summer not only the sunfish but fishing as a whole slows down. I think the fish become lazy and find cover to lay under to beat the sun. Fish also find a little deeper water. Docks,bridges,brush piles,and tree overhangs in water 10 to 15 feet are usually pretty good places this time of year to find sunnies. Shallow rivers and creeks are a different story. Brush piles and deeper pockets of water are the places to look there. Side Note: Very early morning and night fishing are the best times to fish during the HOT summer months.
