My six year old daughter Aurelia has been on many trips with me. We fish together and we have a good time. She has been on many rivers and she is great at handling fish. When we fish, I am the one who makes the casts and works the lure of the fly. I normally [...]

So far March 2009 has been colder than February…that is nuts!
My wife told me to take a fishing trip this past Sunday (March 1st), so damn it, I had to oblige.
I drove to to a beautiful river within 45 miles of my home. The weather was beautiful, though windy, and there was a chill in [...]

Today
I woke up early.
I dressed my girls. My oldest dressed for school. My youngest dressed for a trip to grandma’s house. My wife, she dressed for work, and she was pissed to say the least.
I drove to the San Marcos River.
I grabbed a fly rod.
Strung it up.
Tied on a fly.
I kicked and fished nine miles [...]
The First Fish on the Year
Posted in Uncategorized on January 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I ended the year guiding on the San Marcos River. After my trip, I was chomping at the bit to get on a nearby river and try to catch my first fish of the year. On January 2, 2009 my good friend Gerardo Huerta gave me a call. He said that he and his father [...]
A great way to end the year.

The Roadrunner

Paddling a canoe
along the great red and layered bluffs
at Homer Martin Ranch
Where the beautiful Llano River
takes a hard left
I saw a roadrunner
on the tip top of the cliff
standing in a mixture
of sage, cactus, agarita, and cedar
looking down on us
specks on the sparkling river
envious
wishing it could change its name
and be a river runner too.

Sipping delicately
the tiny fly
a Guadalupe Bass
makes ripples

Six years ago a largemouth bass hatched in the San Gabriel River. I like to think that it hatched over a clean bed of gravel. I like to think that it made its home in a small batch of river willow, snapping up small bugs until it was big enough to chase minnows, and crush crayfish. Over [...]

I was looking through some photos from this past summer. I found this photo from a couple I guided in September 2008. It was their 25th wedding anniversary and they chose to spend it together on a river on the edge of the Llano Uplift.
I was guiding Mrs. Goff in my canoe, while her husband [...]
