John Graves Scenic Waterway/Brazos River

Winding through the heart of Texas, this protected stretch of the Brazos River is a hidden gem. Limestone bluffs tower over crystal-clear waters, teeming with largemouth bass and a wide variety of freshwater species. With its rich history and remote beauty, this waterway is an angler’s paradise.

The Paluxy River

A true Texas treasure, the Paluxy is a spring-fed river known for its gin-clear pools and lively current. It’s the perfect spot for wading and sight-fishing feisty bass and sunfish. Ancient dinosaur tracks embedded in the riverbed make every trip here a journey through time.

The Devils River

Regarded as one of the most pristine rivers in Texas, the Devils River is for those who crave adventure. Remote and rugged, its spring-fed waters run through dramatic canyons, offering unmatched fishing for native Guadalupe bass. This river demands respect—but rewards those who embrace its wild beauty. Each of these waters tells a story. Come fish with us and write your own adventure in Texas’s most stunning landscapes.
