Thanks Jamie. Creeks are very active. Fished a couple of the Guadalupe River lakes earlier this week and the bite was slow. After the Grand daughter heads back to Colorado I will be hitting the Nueces Canyon a lot!

Thanks Will! Fishing the dog days of summer can be a challenge! Catching those fresh water Reds is a big change. Next time I will try rigging a ultra light set up and fighting one of those fish. Should be a BLAST! Side Note: I bet the fight on a fly rod would be super also. Also the fly rod records for the Reds are wide open on both lakes!

Nice report. And even better catching It would be fun to catch Freshwater Reds if/when they get shallow , fly fishing a lake with sink tip is a chore unless you are sitting on top of a school. Nueces Canyon looks awesome from reports, cool name too.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Thanks Andrew,Clayton,and Doc for the replies. Andrew: For what I have been told during the summer months Reds start up in the reeds at day break. As it get's hotter they move to deeper,cooler water. As for the Canyon,it should be very good fishing! Clayton: I have seen ton's of carp hitting the top of water every time I fish Dunlap! I have all so seen em on other lakes as well as rivers. They are calling your name! Doc: Got these on Braunig. A couple of weeks ago caught a bunch on Cally! Red's on the half shell.

Had a great time Chuck. Need to do it again. Fished last week and caught over 30 keepers. Kept a few for the dinner table. Spoke with Harry Lamb yesterday and he said "They are nailing em"! Reds are active and biting!
Side Note: Will the bite pick-up with this latest rain! Got 3" the other day at the house.

Yes Sir will hit it again! This last rain really helped the local water bodies and the bite really picked up. Having a great year. Side Note: Fall bite should be FANTASTIC!
