Nope,… The LAP program sold out in 6 days this season. You could buy some day passes and take him that way. Or what you can do is go through a commercial access, have your father pay for that access, and fish those areas. Places where GRTU stocked and you can pay for access; Whitewater, Rio, Lazy L&L, Micheal’s, Action Angler, Bezdek’s. You could also do something else. You could hire a guide and take him on a float. There are many advantages for this, the guides will have been on the river and know what flys to use and where the fish are holding. You will cover a bunch of water, more than you could possibly wade during the day, and even fish some deep water spots that would be impossible to fish effectively wade fishing. They can help you with your techniques and that may be the best benefit of all.

I think the youth pass was also discontinued.

Releases were bumped to 90cfs for some reason yesterday. They are coming back down again today. What are GBRA’s motivations I wonder? Anyway more rain fell overnight in the Kerrville area. Flows came up a little bit, but not significantly. WE need more rain….

If you are talking about a LAP member purchasing a LAP Day Pass to take an individual, you are allowed to take just one person at a time. Now if you can find a friend who is also an LAP member then he can purchase a Day Pass and take another one of your children with him under his sponsorship. If you have more children you need one extra LAP member for each one. You will see that when you purchase a Day Pass there is one space for the LAP member to sign and one for the individual to sign which you wish to take fishing. If this rule was not in place one LAP member could take an unlimited number of non-LAP members with them on an given day. You would not want an individual to show up with a school bus and unload 60 non-LAP members at Pott’s would you? Mr. Pott’s certainly would not like it! It is designed to protect the program and the Lease Owners.

Latest weather report has a line of showers moving through in the morning. So everyone bring your rain gear. I’ll be there with mine…..

Yes rain is falling in the right places with this rain event. I juts looked at the USGS gauges and the upper river is rising. North Fork 31.8cfs, Johnson Creek 43.7cfs, Kerrville 138cfs, Center Point 245cfs, Comfort 158cfs. If this trend continues we may actually see GBRA bump the releases…..

They delayed the inspection until today, Friday, and the flows will be reduced to zero. So I should have fished on Thursday !!!!
Jimbo
Woo Hoooo !!!……
I can’t wait. I’ll see you there !!!

They shut off the flows completely. The upper river will show the effects almost right away. The lower river will slow down and slowly drop (and also slowly rise back to normal levels when flows resume). Usually the fish get lockjaw while the river drops with no current. Even today with the clouds helping it’s going to be slow. It’s probably best for yourself and the fish to leave them alone until they start releasing the flows again. Another thing is that some years the inspections are not completed in a single day, so watch for following announcements that flows will again be turned off for another day. I was going today but canceled those plans because of the zero flows. Tomorrow looks good too, even with some severe weather forecast, so I’ll be watching for another possible announcement tonight before I decide to fish again.

Don’t over look CVC or Lower Rio.
Jimbo
I still can’t figure this out…. Where are the instructions for inserting a picture?
Jimbo
Good Luck ! I’ll be taking our cat to the vet for a broken tooth.

The Trout should be available at every LAP site except maybe RRC. We stocked every site directly (and some in between) except Lower Rio, which is right next to Bezdek’s and RRC which I have never seen stocked. RRC will have fish move downstream into that area as the season progresses. Watch your water temps in the lower sites on days like today! If it gets close to 70 move upstream into cooler waters.
