The Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake dam is listed as one of the top 100 trout streams in America. It is also the southernmost trout stream in the U.S. The Guadalupe River chapter of Trout Unlimited is the largest chapter in the nation. The section of the Guadalupe River we fly fish on is managed as a trophy trout fishery. The bag limit is one trout over 18" per day and must be caught on an artificial lure ...
Freshly stocked trout can be caught on a variety of attractor patterns as well as streamers. As fishing pressure increases plan on using smaller match the hatch type of flies. Low flows and clear water will make this more important.
Cooler weather this week will keep the fish active later in the day.
