Kayak Fishing Journal - Episode 1: The Guadalupe River

The Kayak Fishing Journal is a unique show that offers kayak fishing tips, destinations and cultural interests. This episode features the Guadalupe river near Gruene, Texas. Recently, the Guadalupe river has found that holdover trout from season to season are abundant. As you will see, the size of the trout for South Texas are amazing. Additionally, the segment creates a challenge between fly and conventional fishing to see which technique on this day would produce more fish.

I'm not sure what brand that net was. It was one we picked up in a coastal tourney as a prize package and i probably removed the label. It's a great one though, rubber like netting and floating handle.

Awsome video! I practically live in the Guad in the winter. Its a shame that this Summer was so brutal though. Fly for life

@sofleye23 - Thanks! We had a blast creating this one. The area is very fun and inviting. Yes, we were amazed at the water discharge...or lack thereof. It was about 70 CFS at the time we shot this in April '10.

yaddahooha - There's a lot involved, but you live in an area that's rich with great water, and knowledgable people. There's a wealth of information on the website known as TKF which is the Texas Kayak Fishing Forum.

I use a clear version of that net, and it makes all the difference - fish don't freak at the last minute and the rubber net is the best for the fish.

Great video! What's the best way to get started kayaking and learning this river? I'm new to San Antonio and kayaking and want to get started. Is this an easy river to navigate for a novice? Nice to see a video with people also using conventional tackle, most of the stuff you find online involves fly fishing only.
