There has been little of note to report on my Guadalupe fishing since the last post. Rainbow fishing has been average, with some good days and some bad. Not the numbers of last year nor the size; my biggest to date is about 18". I'm not enjoying indicator fishing at all and direct contact fishing only slightly more. Streamer fishing, which I love, has been less productive than the former methods but has still resulted in some good days.
Today, I decided to fish further downstream on the Guadalupe, in areas where warm water fish are the norm and trout are absent. I also spent a bit of time on the Comal River, one of the shortest rivers in the world...a mere 2 miles long. It was there I caught a small sunfish that has been identified as a red-spotted sunfish. A new specie for me!
On the Guadalupe, did much better, catching over a dozen nice sized redbreasts and a few bluegills.
The scariest fish of the day was this Guadalupe bass. I was fishing a 3/4 wt rod for sunnies and the area I was fishing has several large bits of cover in the form of branches in the water. At one point the bass wrapped around a branch but a bit of slack, and a lot of luck, got him into open water again.
