This morning I was going to wash my wife and I's vehicles but San Antonio is already in Stage one water restrictions which means no residential waste water.
So I went fishing.
I loaded up my kayak and pointed my truck towards the Medina River. I scoped out a few spots to see how bad the low flows were affecting the river. Was a pretty sunset as well due to the north winds we had from a small cold front which passed through during the night.
I found a crossing with adequate water and launched my kayak. Paddled upstream and fished the pools catching a few fish including a nice Redbreast Sunfish and what I believe to be a Guad/Smallie hybrid.
It was a short trip as I was off the water by 10:30. But it was a beautiful stretch to fish.
My wife was working until 1, so by the time I put my kayak gear up and packed a small picnic we hopped in the truck and went to the Guadalupe River near Comfort, TX.
The Guad wasn't as clear as the Medina, but the cypress tree canopy was much fuller. As with most of the Texas Hill Country it was pretty stretch and a gorgeous afternoon to be fishing. I only managed one, a solid Redear, but it put up quite a fight.
Fish were caught on a Yellow Llano Bug or Olive Wooly Bugger.
Short and sweet today, but I'll be back on the water tomorrow.
