UPPER GUADALUPE RIVER
Experience some of the most beautiful scenery in The Texas Hill Country. The Guadalupe begins at its headwaters in western Kerr County. The spring fed North and South Forks of The Guadalupe meet and form The Guadalupe River proper west of the town of Kerrville. It runs uninterrupted largely through open ranch land for miles until it is dammed to create Canyon Lake. The river flows again below Canyon Lake Dam as The Lower Guadalupe where we fish for Trout, Stripers and other species. While the Lower Guadalupe is very beautiful in its own right, The Upper Guadalupe takes the cake with its gorgeous Bald Cypress lined banks, Limestone cliffs and lack of development. We float stretches near the towns of Boerne, Comfort, Spring Branch and rarely see many other people or signs of development along the float. River levels fluctuate on this freestone stream based on rainfall or lack thereof so float trip availability depends on current conditions. Wade trips are also a great option. Primary target species are Guadalupe and Largemouth Bass in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Its tree lined banks provide a shady canopy that makes even the hottest Summer days enjoyable on the river. Topwater poppers thrown tight to the bank are often rewarded with explosive strikes from Bass. Baitfish and Crawfish streamers produce great action as well. The Upper Guadalupe is also a great Carp fishery and one of our favorite places to target them on the fly. Gar, Catfish, plenty of Sunfish and Rio Grande Cichilds are also present.
