The San Marcos


Even when the weatherman gets it wrong and its 40 degrees in stead of 60, the San Marcos River runs warm from its natural springs. The few fish Mike and I did catch felt warm to the touch and you've gota love that about this river. What we could have used was some sunshine and that clear San Marcos River winter water. We threw the usual, bead head wooly buggers and small streamers. In hind sight we should have waited a few days after this cold spell, but when you get the urge to go it's just nice to be out on the water. Since few bass were to be had we stuck to targeting sunfish. I got to try out the new TFO 2wt. and it was a joy to cast. I think I'll stick to more sunny winter days on the river.
