Great looking fish Chuck. By the looks of this report and some others that I have seen, the big freeze did not hurt the Rios as badly as it could have.

Thanks Yesenia, Curt0407, F4 "Gator", and Leo for the replies. Yesenia: Monday is right around the corner! ![partyon partyon](/forums/images/graemlins/default/party0049.gif) Leo/Yesenia: Why would you want to fish anywhere else, when you have the West Prong Nueces River! "Home of the Biggest Rios in Texas"! ![rockon rockon](/forums/images/graemlins/default/sign0011.gif) Curt0407: The "Big Freeze" took it's toll on the Rios in a lot of water bodies where I fish especially in Boerne, Fredericksburg area. The freeze also set their nesting back. I saw Rios still guarding nest this trip. I also saw pods of them feeding preparing to the upcoming winter. Prior to the past couple of week, I had only caught a few Rios. Was very pleased the last couple of weeks about the numbers of Rios I was starting to catch. Hopefully we get a good bunch next year. ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

Those are some SLABS Chuck. ![flehan flehan](/forums/images/graemlins/default/flehan.gif) Side Note: Did not make a canyon trip this year. Will plan on one next year for sure. How were the conditions of the water bodies? ![noidea noidea](/forums/images/graemlins/default/noidea.gif)
