I went to college in Belton and spent some time fishing Belton, Stillhouse and the area. The biggest bass and crappie I ever caught was out of the Leon River. 7.5 lb bass and a 3.5 lb crappie. Both within 5 minutes of each other in the same spot. I have pictures somewhere to prove it...

On my way back to Austin from Dallas yesterday I decided to stop for a while and go back to that spot. I took my flyrod down and had some fun. I caught only one good sized bream, but I saw the potential for the fly fishing trip it could be...

Below Belton Dam is the perfect place to start. I remember white bass all in that area. Depending on low generation, it's shallow for a good ways before you'd need a canoe/kayak/tube. You can float all the way to I-35 getting out only once for a low water dam. This dam is just downstream of Charter Oak Drive and below it is the place I caught my fish.

This would be half a perfect weekend. A day trip could be planned to float this river section and the following day (or half day)could be spent below Stillhouse Hollow lake doing the same.

I just may try this soon.

Sounds interesting, if you need a partner hit me up

you ever post those pics somewhere? I know it's been a LONG TIME!!!!

Nice. We are moving to the Belton/Temple area soon and have kayaks and fly rods that need to be used. Thanks!
