Angler's Choice Fly Fishing

This is the foundational course for establishing a fly cast and learning fishing basics. Learn to set up a fly rod, differences between rod and reel weight classes, rigging and tying on a fly, essential knots, along with 3 basic casts. You will learn to Pick Up and Lay Down the line, roll cast, and false cast. We will work on distance, and managing a fish on the line. Plan for 2 hours of instruction.

We will float on one of Texas' scenic rivers. I guide on the Guadalupe, San Marcos, and Colorado rivers, with most drives being an hour of downtown Austin. I fish these waters year-round, targeting mainly Guadalupe and largemouth bass, but also hunting for Rio Grande Cichlid, sunfish, carp, and gar during the warmer months and trout from October - April. Each river has its highlights with some great sight fishing opportunities. I provide all rods, reels, and terminal tackle. Half day trips include snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, full day trips include a riverside lunch.
