I hate it when a great spot is all grown over!
Have you guys tried overlining and roll casting? Just a thought.

it was so over grown i couldnt get near the water with my rod.. well we did get in salado creek and found one or two spots we could cast. but most of it had a canopy over the water. it was only 6'to 7' tall. so me 5'11" with a nine foot rod. i couldnt move it was bad. so i dont think we will be hitting the salado any more. unless you find something better.

leon creek is in san antonio.

well that's a shame. Glad you did find some fishable water.

in san antonio,there is a pond at wurzbach pky and thousand oaks that has bass and perch in it. we stocked it when i was just a kid, taking fish from one pond to another.

A gator in the salado ha I knew it Ieven told texasdjl. Man I'm glad we stopped wading where we did before the water went to my pits. Yah the water had a little to much brush I was flipping my flys under trees with 2 feet of line out. That was as far as a cast could go.

jeffnsa, are you talking about the pond behind capitol cement park???? i think you are. i might have to check it out. think it still might hold fish??

longhorn cement co. was the name, and its just off wurzbach pky between thousand oaks and starlight terrace. i haven't been out there for about 10 years but i see kids on it occasionly.

well i think our peice of the leon is almost gone(dried up). so that sucks it was a fun little i mean little spot to get the fly wet.

but the secret bass pond is in full swing. hehe

we will have to wait and see just how much is swinging on a sunday. my new 6wt should swing pertty good. when you gettin your new setup? today? befor 5? we can go with you its always fun to look around.

R.I.P my old 6 wt. we should throw it in the creek. you know like paying homage. whatever that thing was a pos.


TEXAS LAND SHARK is one mean SOB

So here we are at the normal spot and as I land another 7 pound bass on my 3wt. I hear something make a noise behind me. My fishing buddy spence has an interesting look on his face and half his rod is lying next to me. I look at the water and see a 7 foot gator coming at us. Aparently the fresh water land shark either wanted the fly or my fishing buddy and my buddy broke his rod trying to catch or run from the fresh water land shark.



Or maybe just maybe this is a slight exageration in a bad incident that ended with a broken 5wt and a new 6wt TFO. Im jealous now I have too get my TFO profesional 3wt setup. I like the rod bud now my buddy will have to learn to cast with a real fly rod.

p.s. the broken rod was a 50 dollar dicks combo, incase anyone was thinking about getting one.

Doesn't take you guys very long to check out a gator huh?
Me too!

I fish Leon creek on Lackland quite a bit. Lots of bass and bream in there. Also good sized carp, catfish and some huge tilapia. No fly rod fishing, but ultralight and occassionally light bass rods. I also used to fish Salado creek on Fort Sam Houston back in 94 when I was a kid. Lots of fish in there too. Gotta love the little creeks.
