Reimers in the Summer

Anglerwannabe — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:36:25 +0000

After a tough week at work, I needed to get out of the house and spend some time on the water. Although I don’t have much to report regarding the fishing, some people might be interested in the water level on the Pedernales. Needless to say, with multiple 100+ days in a row, the water [...]

iPhone/iPad Fly fishing game

Anglerwannabe — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:26:38 +0000

Finally, a fly fishing game on the iDevices. The quick review is that the best part of the game is that it’s about fly fishing. It’s not much on game and it’s lacking accuracy from really any fly fishing aspect, but now I can fly fish from my couch. An iPad and an iPhone version [...]

Breckenridge fly fishing trip report

Anglerwannabe — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:23:15 +0000

I’ve determined that you have to take an extended vacation periodically to maintain sanity at the workplace and home. Last week I staged my mental health getaway. After work on Friday I came home and went straight to bed as I was going to embark on a 17 hour drive starting at 1:30a Saturday morning. [...]

Fathers Day Gift Ideas for the flyfisherman

Anglerwannabe — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 01:08:40 +0000

Sometimes it’s hard to find a gift for someone who you think has everything. I ran across The Painted Trout a few months back and was very impressed with their selection and quality of work. It’s not just a bunch of cutesy gifty crap. With Fathers Day coming up very soon, I thought I would [...]

Longs Fish Camp and a new rod!

Anglerwannabe — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 04:03:06 +0000

Ted over at Sportsmans Finest recommended I try out the virtually Internet hidden Longs Fish Camp outside of Kingsville. There is almost no information on the interwebs about it. Amazing… not even a phone number. Ted was able to find some basic directions which he photocopied for me. It sounded intriguing so Parker and I [...]

Not fishing but water related

Anglerwannabe — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:05:23 +0000

Had a really nice trip out to Hamilton Pool yesterday. Fishing isn’t allowed but I did take some pictures. It’s worth the short drive out there for the hike. Hamilton Pool flows out to Hamilton Creek which connects to the Pedernales River. The first pic below is close to where the creek connects to the [...]

Another quick Reimers Ranch – Pedernales River fishing excursion

Anglerwannabe — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:13:29 +0000

Not much to say about the trip today other than I caught a couple of fish in the hour and a half I was at the river. I caught one larger white bass that I decided not to manipulate into a fishporn shot. The water was much murkier than on my last few trips. I [...]

Reimers Ranch in March

Anglerwannabe — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:52:47 +0000

Although I had a ton of stuff to do today at work, against my better judgement, I took off early and went out to Reimers Ranch to pick up an annual pass and see if there were any white bass that were hungry for a fly. The $10 a visit admission fee has been adding [...]

Too much water???!

Anglerwannabe — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:43:17 +0000

On Saturday, I had a little extra time to fill while my son was at a birthday party. So I did some chores around the house. Well, that’s what my wife would have preferred. As you probably guessed, I went fishing. I decided to run over to Reimers Ranch to check out the Pedernales River. [...]

Texas Weather

Never thought I would say this, but it’s just too cold and windy for fishing today.
