Llano River CR103 Crossing - 08/10/10 09:24 PM
Made my first trip to the Llano yesterday. Arrived at about 9:15 AM, scoped things out a bit and started fishing around 10:30. I had my float tube with me but I was eager to get in the water so I opted to wade. Nothing in the first hour and then, while getting ready to lift up for a new cast saw a flash in the water next to my black wooly bugger and as I tried to start my back cast realized there was a fish on. Turned out to be about a three pound catfish. Managed to catch a couple bass against one stretch of bank, 2 guads and a decent largemouth about a 1.5 pounds. (pics below). Waded back to the crossing and decided to try the moving water right below the crossing. Ended up nailing 3 more Guads which were fun in the fast water. Tried to take more pics but had trouble handling the camera, rod, and fish simultaneously. I release everything and don't want to stress them in this heat so if I don't get a good pic the first time I just turn em' loose.

Anyways, if you live in the Austin area I have to recommend this spot. Next time I'm launching the tube though and really stinging em!
Oh yeah there is pretty much NO shade so bring the sunscreen. I forgot mine and am paying for it.
