Guadalupe River 3/25/13

Just when the weather was getting perfect... The cold front decided to make its move and chill up the air. Had plans to meet up with Austin Orr of salt396.com but life/work got in the way and we failed to hit the water. He did leave me with one of his magical Rojo Bug's and a loaner fly rod as I had just snapped the end off of mine, much thanks for that!

Weather warmed up nicely by mid afternoon, and winds laid just enough to get some sight casting done. First was this sucker that I thought was a small common due to its size.

Meanwhile this grasser kept brutally turning me down time after time. It is hard to judge size in this shot, but she is about 4'. Being in the river, this fish wasnt used to being fed or chummed up like the grassers around the golf courses, and is going to be extremely hard to get to take a fly.

While focusing on the grass carp, this common snuck up on me and fell victim for the rojo

Shortly after the release, I see a dark tail pop up... Could it be? Finally a shot at the grasser?

....Nope. Ended up being this slimy fella.

Till next time,

Brandon
