Fly Fishing the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas

 

Experience one of the most unique trout fisheries in the country with Colorado River Outfitters. Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, the Guadalupe River is the southernmost trout fishery in the United States—and one of the most rewarding seasonal fly fishing destinations anywhere. When temperatures drop and the flows turn cold and clear, this river comes alive.

​

Seasonal Trout Fishing: November Through March

Trout season on the Guadalupe River runs from November through March, offering anglers the perfect winter escape. Stocked with healthy rainbow trout and enhanced by cold tailwater releases below Canyon Lake, the Guadalupe provides exceptional sight-fishing opportunities, consistent action, and a beautiful backdrop of cypress-lined banks.

​

Guided Fly Fishing Float Trips

Colorado River Outfitters offers guided fly fishing float trips tailored specifically for trout on the Guadalupe. Floating opens up long stretches of productive water that bank anglers simply can’t reach—pockets, seams, and deep runs where these winter trout thrive.
