Love that Sabinal Valley fishing. That video is AWESOME. Watching that Bull swim away is "GOOD STUFF"!

Well done. I caught my first Rio on a woolly bugger too. My first wasn't a trophy though.

Great fish, congrats Chuck, it's very cool that you take the time to help us submit records to the State. I certainly appreciate all the effort you put in to the process It adds extra excitement to the day when fishing with you.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

I certainly appreciate all the effort you put in to the process It adds extra excitement to the day when fishing with you. Andrew. Watching you fly anglers fighting a nice fish. "It just don't get any better"! Side Note: There are a lot of open fly rod records out there along with spinning tackle records also. I am always happy to help out anyone who is interested in getting a record fish.

Congratulations 1960 Texan on your record Rio. Awesome place to fish,lots of active fish,great company,record fish,and a great place to eat. Yes Sir that is Chuck's style of fishing! Again congratulations on your record! Side Note: 1060 Texan. Did you have any other results on other fly's other than the Wooly Bugger? Chuck: Looks like both the Sabinal Valley and the Nueces Canyon got some good rain the past few days. I did not get a drop at my house.

Thanks jrod88 and Laker One for the replies. Side Note: 1060 Texan. Did you have any other results on other fly's other than the Wooly Bugger? Lol! It doesn't seem like it based on my post history. I've caught a few fish on poppers and midges, but they've all been small.

Thanks for the information. When I was fishing both the Nueces and Frio rivers this past spring I was using Chartreuse,brown,yellow,and light green,sinking fly's. Got my best results using Chartreuse.

Good results using the sinking grasshopper,cricket,and spider. Chartreuse-black or brown colors worked well for me.

Always love reading Chuck's post. He fishes a lot of places that are off the trail. Congratulations 1960 Texan on your record Rio! Good job!
Side Note: You can really get to know an area by eating at the local restaurants. I bet that Chuck has established one very nice information source by visiting those places. Again nice post,fish,and Congratulations on the record Rio.
