Members Jighog Posted June 1, 2024 Members Posted June 1, 2024 New member to this board but long time lurker. I’m from Longview, TX, and my wife and I recently made a trip to Mountain Home. Its our 2nd time up there and yall’s rivers are beautiful and amazing. Can’t wait to go back. Caught quite a few trout on marabou jigs, and a couple on jerk baits as well. Hope to learn to fly fish someday when i get the chance. Super healthy and pretty fish up there. Didnt get any super big ones, but caught some very nice ones by my standards. Lol… here’s some of our little buddies we caught and released. nomolites, BilletHead, Quillback and 3 others 6

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 Those are decent size fish for those locations. They do get bigger, but also smaller. This ain't Texas, not everything is expected to be huge. LOL. Good to see new posters, welcome.

Wish we had some cold clear rivers down here in Tejas.

Check out GRTU (Guadalupe Trout Unlimited) website for more info. snagged in outlet 3 and Jighog 2

I forgot about the Guadalupe down in the Hill Country. I’ve heard thats a beautiful river, but i’ve never been. I’ve got to check that out someday…. Our East Texas rivers are mostly muddy chocolate milk. Lol
