My trout spot is still paying off! Myself and good friend Jeff pounded out a limit yesterday. Took three hours.

Fish are still hitting the Gold Super Duper!

Nice fish. Thanks for the report.

Nice fish Laker. Good job guys.



Side Note: What is the latest month when you were still catching trout?

Well done!

Gitter: I have caught stocked Rainbow trout all the way into early April!

Thanks Laker! I have been told that some parts of the Guadalupe hold trout year around! I have actually seen reports from several different outdoor magazines of them being caught during the summer !

In past years, I've caught many on dry fly Caddis pattern near the third crossing in July. Don't believe it when you hear that the Guad below Canyon is put and take fishery. They are reproducing as I have caught several 3-4 inchers from the Dam to the third crossing. I even caught nice rainbows between the tubers on Pheasant tail nymph patterns. Tubers don't bother the fish as much as the fisherman. (I had one nice bow jump into the lap of a nice young lady floating in a tube. She sure didn't stay in the tube long, and I sincerely apologised while laughing my ..... off )

Always love seeing those trout post. As mentioned above some areas just below the trail race hold trout all year long. I personally have friends of mine who fish the Guadalupe during the summer months for Rainbow Trout! Most of those spots are controlled access by various trout organizations who have put in points leased year around. Also those areas have special laws that are strictly enforced.

The areas you are talking about are "Trophy Zones"! The law and it's rules are clearly stated in the TPW Manuel.


Side Note: You are right about the access points on the river in the areas of the Trophy Zones. Unless you have a kayak it would be very hard to get into the river.
How ever some of the areas have public camp grounds where you can pay for a day use pass.

Myself and a friend of mine checked out a couple of river camps along river road and camp employees stated the trout bite is year around. Day pass fees were not that bad. Might give it a try this summer!

Lazy L&L has a all access pass on their river access areas and camp sites. I know they have a daily pass. Not sure if they have a yearly pass.

Nice!
