Orvis Helios and Hatch fly reel on The Guadalupe

By Anglerwannabe On April 6, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I don’t usually spend a lot of money on equipment.  Ok, I probably should correct that… I don’t spend a lot of money on any single fly fishing item.  I probably buy too much in total but I haven’t splurged on any top of the line Winston rods or Tibor Reels or anything even close […]

Thursday, Veterans Day (thank you military for protecting this beautiful country of ours), I headed […]

Guadalupe River tripette

By Anglerwannabe On December 18, 2008 · 1 Comment

The morning started out very foggy which caused a pretty miserable backup on I35. Brittany, my lovely wife, and I headed down to Gruene around 10:00am this morning. Besides the overwhelming fog, the temperature was expected to be unseasonably warm. I think it hit the upper 70s. The drive down from Austin to the river […]
