Hi Les and Curt. I kind of like the looks of Bastrop State Park. Also Buescher because the campground looks to be more convenient to the lake. Which do you think would be the better choice? Dinky perch? Are they a cousin of my well loved sardine? Glenn

Does the Llano have a resident population or would there be timing issue? The location is great, but the bass in Lake Bastrop sound good. Just one on those in my frying pan and I would be content. Also the Pine woods sound nice for a day or so of camping. Over around Junction though would be less crowded, and it is on my way home.

Well BD, that sure sounds good. There is just not the opportunity to fish around here, so this will be a treat for me. The plan right now is to deliver the horse at Bastrop on the 9th. Once the trailer is washed out it becomes my camper, so I can head in any direction and kill a day or two before the wife starts wondering where I am. If we can connect that would be great, but if the timing is not right, that's fine. Still have a week and a half. Glenn

With this heat, I don't feel comfortable making any plans beyond just being there. I don't function well when it is over 90, and so I think that the plan better be delivery mon. evening, fishing Bastrop tues. morning and then as it heats up, head for Junction and fish evening and wed. morning, then head on back home, where it is 106 today, with more of the same predicted. Many thanks for your kind offer and look forward to meeting and fishing with you some day. Some cooler day. Glenn

To those following this thread, BD has kindly provided me with directions to a spot on the river similar to the above. I have found a nice campground on the Guadalupe nearby and look forward to a couple of days next week of excellent fishing and relaxing. Recipe for too much heat---cold beer and standing in cool water---or is it cool beer and standing in cold water??? Glenn

Trip over, and it worked out very well. I stayed between Kerrville and Ingram, at a large campground, 40 acres with a 20 acre island in the river. All to myself on the island. Ideal tent site shaded by a large spreading oak, just as the above pictures depict. One large cedar tree was 15 paces around at the butt. Fishing was good, not only was there a variety, blue gill, smallmouth, and catfish, but there was a pesky turtle that would chase a hooked fish. I did not know that turtles could swim so fast. It was as hot as I feared, so I stayed at the site and didn't leave to explore other areas. Waterflow was very slow. No mosquito's. I will say that this river is loaded with fish, if very small. Another couple was fishing near me and the wife was fishing on the surface and the husband was fishing on the bottom. She was catching nonstop small fish, several inches, and he was catching fewer but larger fish. Gills. It was really too hot for me to work the fly rod all day. With more water flow, and ten or more degrees cooler weather, this area could easily be a good destination or site for a get together. Glenn
