Too much water???!

By Anglerwannabe On February 8, 2010 · 6 Comments

On Saturday, I had a little extra time to fill while my son was at a birthday party. So I did some chores around the house. Well, that’s what my wife would have preferred. As you probably guessed, I went fishing.

I decided to run over to Reimers Ranch to check out the Pedernales River. […]

Rio Penasco, Charlie Mulcock's Ranch and Ruidoso trip

By Anglerwannabe On November 8, 2009 · 12 Comments

In the low desert mountains of New Mexico, meandering between the dry, brush covered arid hills, flows a gin-clear, trout-infested oasis of a stream. 5 miles of the Rio Penasco are on Charlie Mulcock’s ranch about 10 miles outside of the tiny town of Mayhill, NM. The ranch has been in his family for 106 […]

If I drown out the smell, Barton Creek is like being on an East Coast trout stream

By Anglerwannabe On October 5, 2009 · 10 Comments

Back in high school, a friend of mine was an avid fly fisher. When we wanted to go out, he would sometimes stay home and tie flies. I made fun of him endlessly for this. He also would go about a block away from his house and fly fish in a little stream called Barton […]

Pedernales River water level and fishing report

By Anglerwannabe On August 8, 2009 · 15 Comments

With the oppressive temperatures in Texas this time of year, my fishing window has shrunk to mornings between 7:00a and about 10:00a. This morning, I ran out to Reimers Ranch to see just how bad this drought affected my new homewater river.

I just couldn’t get out of bed before 8:30 so I didn’t get […]

First trip to the Lampasas River

By Anglerwannabe On July 23, 2009 · 1 Comment

Made a quick trip out to the Lampasas River outside of well, Lampasas. It was just too darned hot to enjoy for long. I can do too darned cold as evidence by my trips way back in the archives of this blog, but hot isn’t my cup of tea.

So the fishing wasn’t great though […]

Birthday fishing gone bad

By Anglerwannabe On April 19, 2009 · 2 Comments

I was hoping to post a fishing report about my incredible Guadalupe trip on my birthday but I’m afraid I can’t do it due to a boneheaded move on my part. At the end of the fairly uneventful trip, I was carefully pulling the two sections of my favorite fly rod, the Favorite from

Reimers Ranch visit – Family Time

By Anglerwannabe On March 29, 2009 · 7 Comments

Purpose of the trip today was to start teaching my son, Parker how to fish with a fly rod and flies instead of frozen hot dogs which was his primary bait up to now. Although he’s only 6 (almost 7) he is extremely interested in fly fishing and watching me tie flies so with my […]

Cold Pedernales morning

By Anglerwannabe On March 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

On Saturday morning, I stopped by Sportman’s Finest for the Casting for Recovery benefit. I was just running by for a few minutes to sign up for a raffle to win an overly excellent handmade wooden fly tying material box or a TFO rod and give my money to a good […]

New Home Waters – Pedernales River

By Anglerwannabe On February 15, 2009 · 9 Comments

So, it isn’t exactly the Provo River in UT like one of my previous home waters, but it’s not bad either.

I took a 20 minute drive out to the Pedernales River at Reimer Ranch today for a few hours. The drive out is a nice hilly trip with little traffic and some nice views. […]

New Headwaters rod fishing report

By Anglerwannabe On January 2, 2009 · 2 Comments

While I was in Houston for a Christmas visit with the family, I snuck out to a manmade pond at my mother-in-laws office. Not exactly the most serene natural setting but it would have to do. I brought my new Headwaters bamboo 5 wt rod to try out.

Conditions were a bit nasty with drizzle […]
