I think the first video of yours I saw was you fishing here. It encouraged me to fly fish urban areas around Houston when I lived there rather than waiting for winter trout stocking on the Guadalupe. It increased my chances to fly fish and have fun trying new techniques and species. Thank you.
Glad I could help! Yeah urban areas still have decent fishing. Not as fun for sure as some other places but still good to fish. Catch any nice ones around Houston?
@@McFlyAngler Yes, caught Tilapia, Guadalupe Ciclid, Gar, catfish, sunfish, crappie, striped, small and large mouth bass in bayous and residential “lakes” around Katy. The biggest large mouth bass I ever caught was in a residential lake about a block from my house that I ignored for 10 years! Now I’m blue lining the hills of Tennessee for native Brooke Trout and wild rainbows but still go to creeks within two miles of the house for bluegill and small mouth bass. Living in the area you probably know about Brushy Creek in Round Rock. If not Living Waters Fly Shop can hook you up. Good fishing!
Yes I’ve fished brushy creek, even have a video of me fishing it. Thanks for the recommendation. So glad to hear your catching a lot! Very cool about that bass
Might want to try putting a white egg in your fly box. When they want bread, I have caught a few on a white egg. Also works on carp that like bread. Hope it helps.
Oh man, that’s hard to answer, everything depends on condition. I fish a 3wt, 4wt, 5wt and 6 wt regularly. For a good all around go with a 5wt. Check out risen fly for a good inexpensive 5wt setup, the genesis is a great rod, better than some $300+ rods I own and it’s only $100. Use my discount code “McFly” at checkout for 15% off and you should be fine fishing most stuff in San Antonio.
If you put your thumb on top of the cork grip, your game will improve. The thumb is kinda the driving force behind a fly cast. It's really the gas pedal sort a speak. I'm not having a go, just trying to help. Gripping the rod like a golf club is not going to do you any favors. I see you struggling with your roll cast, this will help.
man as someone who lived in san antonio all my life i never even knew you could fly fish the river walk. now i must give it a shot
Do it! Of course make sure you obey all the laws and signs. If a stretch says no fishing then don’t fish.

Good advice I’ll give it a shot
What’s the ideal weight and fly for fish in the San Antonio area we are new to tx and haven’t been able to go out much

You should try downtown by the river authority it’s right there by the flats of Southtown and Habitat for Humanity. It’s a good spot
Cool thanks for the heads up I’ll look it up. Legal and all to fish there?
Dude this is awesome! What part of the riverwalk are you fishing??
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I was fishing in the Breckinridge park
Those aren't loons those are cormorants!
Good to know! Haha. I don’t know my birds well obviously. Thanks for letting me know what they are
Tx?
Yes
