Anyplace to fish besides Somerville? Never thought much about Lake Bryan when I lived here before, just doesn't seem to be alot of "clean" water to fish around here. Any ideas??

Hook-line-sinker will be your go to person for all water in Aggieland. When I lived there I liked throwing a line in at Research Park for a quick trip, nothing real big but pretty good luck. There is (or was, havent seen it in the drought) a pond behind the church on Elmo Weedon. Google Maps can be your best friend in B/CS

I had several local private lakes to fish but all (save one) have dried up completely or have died (Oxygen depletion fish-kills) Lake Bryan is a lost cause and is not managed as a fishery it's become a hangout for the jet set and isn't to friendly to fisherman anymore.

Gibbons is the closest and probably holds the best potential but you really need a boat. Somerville is barren of vegetation and only one boat ramp is still open (as of last week) If you know how to fish open water structure with a fly, good luck at Somerville because that's all there is..

I hopped in Carter Creek the other day. It'd be great fun if you had a 2 weight (which I'm working on). I plan on fishing Yegua when it gets water in it again.

I do have a boat and a kayak and have fished Gibbons once or twice with little luck. We used to catch alot of whites and hybrids in Somerville back in the late 90's when I lived here before. Went to Somerville a week or so ago and saw soem schooling activity off the bank. May go back with the kayak so that I can put in where ever I want to fish some areas I oculdn't wade to.

With in about a hour drive there are Huntsville State Park and Fort Boggy State Park. In Madisonville there is Lake Madison and also there are several ponds in College Station.

Think I'll hit Somerville tomorrow morning. Anyone wanna go??

I'd love to, but I've got class all day.
