Scouted a nearly 5-mile wade on the Lampasas today. Shoulda left the house earlier -- turns out we ran short on time and had to really hustle through the last mile and a half or so. Guess I'll have to go back soon. Darn.

Amazing piece of water, though. Clear and slow, huge variety of species. I couldn't get the carp, freshwater drum (gaspergou), channel cats, or spotted gar to eat -- I'm happy to hear tips, btw -- but we did okay on bass (including some Gaudalupe bass) and sunfish. Oh, and the surprise of the day -- two white bass. This reach is nowhere near the downstream reservoir, and it's November not March, so I really wasn't expecting to see them.

Echo Carbon XL 2 wt, mouse, Brushy Creek streamers, and some crawfishy fly ... I forget the name.

Cold front blowing in tomorrow dropping lows into the 30s and 40s. Might have been the last wet wade for a while!

"A nearly five mile wade". Aaron, you are one tough dude. If you had me along on that outing, you would have had to carry me back out after about 1.5 miles. :applause
