Fly Fishing the Texas Hill Country by Kayak

Eight Hour Group Introduction to the Colorado River Below Austin.


Castell Guide Service, Action Angler & Diablo Paddlesports are partnering for a full day group instruction on the Colorado River downstream of Austin.  This class is intended for intermediate anglers who want to improve their on-the-water fishing skills for bass and other warm water species while while utilizing one of the most stable and innovative kayak platforms on the market today.

In this class, you will learn about:

  • Intermediate casting skills for bass with both streamers & poppers.

  • Rigging your kayak for a day (or longer) on the water.

  • Safely navigating rivers by kayak.

  • How to effectively fish from a kayak.

  • Targeting bass & other warm water species on the rivers of the Texas Hill Country.

  • We will float from Little Webberville Park to Big Webberville Park (approximately 5 miles)

  • All kayaks will be provided by Diablo Paddlesports!

This is a small class setting that will allow for individualized instruction as well as group interaction that we have found to be an effective and and economical way to learn about fishing for rainbow trout on the Guadalupe River below Canyon Dam
