So many chances to get good rains over the upper Guadalupe Basin these last few weeks, but not much to show for it. Now weather patterns are changing. The High is moving further away to the southwest, so over the next few days, the heavy weather will be concentrated over the upper basin. There was a little rain there yesterday, and if today’s forecast is right, we will get significant rains right down the length of the Guadalupe. Of course we don’t want hail or tornadoes, but heavy rains are welcome….

We had a terrific turn-out with somewhere around 70 people showing up to help with the spring cleanup. In fact we had one group come from as far away as Rockport to help pick the trash up and out of the river.
Here is the crew I took to Kanz and JDL to clean those areas….
Everyone crossing the river to start at Kanz….
This group filled over 20 bags…. Good Goin’ !!!!After finishing up at JDL, Ron McAlpin was there with another “Trout In The Classroom” Rainbow Trout Fry release…..
We talked about the Guadalupe, our efforts to enhance the Trout Fishery, what is an evasive species, the Guad’s special harvest limits, and other conservation topics.The trailer being filled up with the collected trash back at Lazy L&L….
This and another couple of pickups beds worth was collected to help beautify our River….
Awards were given out for the most unusual trash collected. This boy and his father found and retrieved a wrought iron patio table. He received a flyrod for his efforts.
Another flyrod was given out for a Drone that was found.This volunteer came from Rockport and received shadow box with hand tied flies of a dragon fly and some bees, for the furthest a group traveled for the clean-up.
The New Braunfels Flyfishers were also well represented….
A special “Hello” to Ron Demeyer (on the far right) who wrangles the volunteers for the Trout Supplemental Summer Feedings for GRTU.All in all, what a fabulous group of volunteers to help doing the hard work of beautifying our river and share some burgers, drinks, and stories of the day and other days on the river. This is the GRTU in action that gets little attention, but it’s critical work to enhance the river and the fishery.

Back from the Dead…..
It’s time again to look to the west….
For storms that could move over the headwaters of the Guadalupe River !!!!
It could happen this weekend and the river and the lake desperately need the rainfall. Springtime in Texas usually bring strong storms and some of our heaviest rainfall of the year. I hope so!!! We are still in El Nino, but trending towards ENSO neutral this summer and transitioning towards La Nina late summer and fall. So, all that being said…..
I’m praying for rain and channeling those that will listen to our prayers….Tom tom tom tom….

Just what…..
I went back and it took about 5 minutes to find my camera.
It was right where Doug and I thought it was but couldn’t see it because of the slit in the water.
It was covered by leaves but I saw the lanyard and BINGO….
I rather be lucky than good….Jimbo
The diesel spill had very little impact on the Trout, thank God. I too was very worried at first, but from what I have heard from anglers and guides and seen myself, very few if any fish were killed by this spill. Now if we can just start getting significant rains over the upper Guadalupe Basin and start filling the lake up again…. Please !!!!
Jimbo
It was both…..
Yes, apparently drove off the bridge this morning and ended upside down on the bank next to Rio.

I saw the new gate yesterday and it looks great !!!!

I’ll be there to help out as usual…..

I went back today and was fortunate to find it safe and sound. It was completely covered with silt, but I saw it’s outline on the bottom after searching for about 10 minutes. I didn’t catch and Big Ones, just the run of the mill average Rainbows, but I count today as a BIG WIN !!!!

In like Flint….

I didn’t go, but according to social media….
A picture of a 40lb King Salmon was submitted for the largest trout caught….
Several pictures of Redfish and Lionfish were taken by new anglers who swore they were caught in Barking Dog pool….
The largest Bass: a 1.8lb Guadalupe Bass won after a 13.4 lb specimen that was disquailified because of the background showing endless horizon of water and large stands of reeds….
The largest Perch turned out to be a 2lb Crappie….
It also won largest fish caught !Don’t you just love social media ?
Jimbo
I’ll be there to help anyway I can….
