Texas Hill Country Rivers

This page’s images contain links to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Current Water Data for select Texas Hill Country waters. More will be added as time moves along. Without comment it will be added at my sluggish computer speed because I will be stuck in fishing gear. If you want something added sound off in the comments below and be heard. Otherwise, silence is compliance and I’ll get to as I can. My intent here is to share information on waters I know or direct you to where the better information is in order to promote the Texas Hill Country.

You’d never know the hidden gem of Barton Creek until you stumble into its wilderness hidden well within Austin City limits.

North West in the Austin area is another urban fishing opportunity. Closer to the lake conveniently located is The County Line BBQ restaurant.

The might Colorado River- the first thing anyone will tell you is be careful of its under current. After you have that covered its a great place to fish for a wide variety of fish and good size bass. This river makes up many a lake in and around the Austin area.

The Blanco is quickly becoming my go to spot as this is the river I have spent most of my time on and many a lessons learned.

The section of this river I am familiar with is great for wade fishing. Long casts and stealthy moves are key here.

Have not had the opportunity to fish this river but know too many who have. This is a day trip pending.

If you want trout in Texas, this is where it is at. As far as browns and bows are concerned you go no further south. The “Guad” despite our Texas heat is capable of sustaining these fish through ‘season’ and even has a few ‘hold over’ surprises throught the year.
