Guadalupe River Fly Fishing and Trout Fishing Report and Current Conditions: Monday March 13, 2023. Eric and
his son from El Paso joined us for a beautiful afternoon float on the Guadalupe River in the Trophy Trout Zone below Canyon
Lake. The morning started off overcast and cool with temps in the high 40's. The skies cleared by noon and warmed to the mid
60's. There was a massive Mayfly hatch with Tricos and BWO's represented. It was the guy's first time to fly fish, so we started
off with a brief lesson on the shore before our float. The guys caught on pretty quickly and we started to drift our nymph
rigs at the Devils Playground near Lazy L and L. Our first cast was an immediate hook up and Eric lost the fish when his rod
tip gave the line slack. Eric junior hooked up next and landed a nice Guadalupe Rainbow Trout. We also caught and released
several sunfish and small bass too. Our best flies were sucker spawn egg patterns and San Juan Worms.

Guadalupe Fishing Guides Fly Fishing Report and Current Conditions: Wednesday March 15, 2023. The day started
out cool but became very nice with partly cloudy skies and temps in the high 60's. There were quite a few people out fishing
on the Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake was pretty busy too. The release from Canyon Dam was still pretty low but running cold
and clear. There were some Caddis hatching with grasshoppers starting to show up on the grassy banks. We used a Hopper/Dropper
rig and picked up some nice sunfish and small bass. We also caught and released a couple of Rainbow Trout in the 14 inch class.
We're expecting a cold front tomorrow night to drop temps back into the 40's and 50's for a few days. The cooler temps should
help the trout bite and probably slow down the bass and sunfish bite.
Guadalupe River Trout Fishing Guides Fly Fishing Report and Current Conditions: Thursday March 16, 2023. The
spring day was very nice with warm temps, but it was a little windy. We didn't notice a significant hatch but the rainbows
were still hitting our nymph rigs. The release from Canyon Lake was cold and a little chalky green. We decided to use three
flies under an indicator, jus to spice things up. We used an epoxy back stonefly with a Squirmy Worm dropper and a Trico dropped
in the bottom with 5X tippet. We caught and released several nice fish mainly on the smaller dropper. There were very few
people out on the water and it was pleasant that way. If you need fly fishing lessons to improve your game, give us a shout.

a 4 mile float to Action Angler. We had quite a few takes, but the guys missed the hook set at first. They learned to watch
the strike indicator carefully, and were rewarded with nice Guadalupe Trout. Our best flies were drowned Trico Spinners dropped
under a Stonefly Nymph.

July 3, 2023. The biggest part of the crowds are gone, but there's quite few people enjoying the river and lake. The release
from Canyon Lake Dam was 72 cfs with clear and cold water conditions. It was hard to tell if there was an insect hatch on
the river. But we did see a few straggler Caddis, Damsels and Hexagenias around. The tubers made it difficult to do trips,
so we scheduled them after they leave this week. Expedition Outfitters provides guided fly fishing trips, classes, lessons,

but the temps were in the low 80's F. We scouted Canyon Lake and we found some nice bass. The lake was not crowded, thank
goodness. The day cleared out about 2:00 pm with no more showers. We saw some stripers busting bait on the surface but they
spooked when we got closer. We got some nice largemouth on flies though. Expedition Outfitters provides guided fly fishing

were tons of people out on the river and lake today but they didn't show up, mostly until noon. This gives mornings a chance.

were too many people on the water in the afternoon to fish, but that's to be expected.
