sure is a lot of folks fish there. for such a rural & low population county as san saba county i would've never imagined it could lure in this many fisherman.

Be at Colorado Bend tomorrow from Denver,CO I'll be bank fishing with future grand Kids. Anyone help me out with what to use for bank fishing and where to go. Future Grandpa needs to make a good impression. Thanks

Been that way forever. I have a brochure that is twenty years(the picture looks like could be 70's) plus that shows the river packed.

Schott,

2" white, chartreuce, smoke clored grubs on a 1/16 oz jighead. or 1/16 oz roadrunners in same colors.

Silver panther martins or mepps like you use for trout in CO will work well too.

And then there is always minnows.

Welcome to the TFF, look thru several of the threads talking about the Bend, lots of good advice, good luck

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate you responding

what condition is the boat ramp in now? Can you launch a descent boat from it now?

If you can launch it from the back of your boat then yes, but if you cant put it in your truck and launch it manually then no

Bottom of ramp is in the water. However, if you try to back your boat all the way in, your wheels will drop off the slab. And more than likely you'll have to have help getting your vehicle back up the hill. And possibly a bent up trailer and axle, depending on how big your wheels are.

can anyone tell me if you can get to colorado bend from launching at tow. i have a bass tracker 175. any info would be appreciated. taking the family fishing and wanting to let my 8 year get into some whites.

Went yesterday!! It was pretty good. Floated around in a tube. Had a limit in less than 2 hrs. I think you can get a boat up there from Tow but be carefull. A friend of mine said a 19' center console was up there the other day. Water has come up a little more.

What area are you fishing in and what did you catch them on.

Got back after lunch today.

Limited out yesterday afternoon in about 2 1/2 hrs, put in this morning about 9:00 and caught 21, could have easily limited out but had to get out at noon to head home for prior engagments.

Fishing from kayak across from boat launch area using 2" sassy shad with blue back and 2" smoke colored grubs.

Water is a little off color but not affecting the fishing at all.

Anyone do good this weekend?? Counting the days till we go.
Thanks

Caught 22 myself Sunday.
