Camp Huaco Springs on River Road. You might give them a try. Would fish very early in the morning to avoid tubers and swimmers. There is a day use fee. Check their web site. You can also try the Comal River at Hinman Island Park and Cypress Bend park on the Guadalupe River they are also good places to fish. All of these places are close to Gruene and are in New Braunfels. Hinman Island is free and so is Cypress Bend Park. Again fish early morning is your best bet. Weekends usually belong to tubers and swimmers this time of year.

Thanks. Forgot to ask what flies are good for the Comal and Guadalupe I do not fly fish. Friends of mine who do usually use a Mayfly type of fly this time of year.

Thanks for the rec on Cypress Bend Park. Hueco springs wasnt even allowing day passes over the weekend. Cypress Bend was a good spot early. Got a few on a homemade slider/gurgler. Seemed like a good kayak fishing spot too.

Seemed like a good kayak fishing spot too. Glad you were able to catch a few. Yes Sir Cypress Bend is a great place to launch a kayak. Very good fishing where the Comal River flows into the Guadalupe River. As for Hueco Springs and further up river, I would suggest fishing there during the Rainbow Trout stocking season. Trout are stocked once a week from December through early February by Texas Parks & Wildlife. The river is also stocked with trout by several trout organizations throughout the winter as well. During the fall and winter the river is usually a lot less crowded.

You can catch Rainbow Trout year around on the Guadalupe River from the Canyon Trail Race to the just past the fourth crossing!

I currently hold the LMB weight and catch & release record for the Guadalupe River. Side Note: I think they eat their share of Rainbow Trout especially during the trout stocking times. Not to mention the monster Striped Bass love those trout also.
