I was fishing about 40 miles down river from Guadalupe Bass. Like GB posted, the scenery and the fishing were equally enjoyable. I was fishing my 7' Browning Silaflex with a Browning MZ34 and also my 7"6" Orvis Power Flex with a 3.5" Pridex Lightweight. The flies included cat's whiskers, poppers, woolies ...

I'm a real fan of the Nueces with its Gin clear flows, but from the photo it seems a bit low. Still a heck of a way to spend an afternoon. Les Ultralight fly fishing forum Creek guy and light liner

I like your taste in rods and reels! That's funny - almost identical gear, same river, same day. Well, like they say, great minds think alike. Is that Powerflex a 6wt?

As you probably know, this area of Texas is in an extreme to exceptional drought condition. Even considering the drought condition, the water was very clear, with some good flow and with plenty of fish. The Alamo Fly Fishers club held their "One Fly" contest (same weekend) and one of the winners had a fish count of about 120 (all C&R). I saw some monster bass cruising the shaded banks. GB - The rod has a 7wt stamping, but I was fishing with a 6wt FWF line. The rod seemed to like the 6wt line. I need to find a spare reel or another rod so that I can fish the rod with a sinking line. Here's some pics posted here: http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/9025
