The Hill Country's got some extraordinary fish in it but I think the Longar are the most beautiful. Not to mention the fact that the they go thru a couple of color changes most years. Nice report and trip, Chuck!

Thanks Leo and Jagg for the replies! Jagg: You are right on the money. The Longear are the most beautiful fish in the hill country! Also great fighters for their size! Love fishing the hill country!

Those are some head turning Longear Chuck We don't have the orange belly version up here, it's more turquoise/gold dominant and some of the Rivers in ETX have a deep rust color. The places you fish are incredible.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Nice fish. Love the colors.
Side note. Wonder why the color tone is so different in other areas?

Thanks Gitter and Fishbonz for the replies. Gitter: Water conditions and the area I think are a couple of factors that play a part on fish colors. There is a lot of limestone in that area which helps keep the water crystal clear. Water quality I think is a huge factor on color tone. Just my two cents. Side Note: The spawn is the biggest factor!
