Do you love big bluegill?
Just moved!
Does anyone live in the Austin or San Marcos area in Texas? I'm in incredibly unfamiliar territory, i'm not used to fishing in clear water and don't have any spots thataren't blown out by touristy types!

thank you for the info. i think i fished lady bird lake, but had little success. we fished the river beyond the dam of it though and icaught a decentwarmouth and some BG. Then i fished off a boat ramp on lake austin i believe, and caught some pretty good size assortment of BG and redears, and maybe a hybrid redear/bg?

Look up the In Fisherman website, they had an article in one of the last couple of issues that was on Texas panfishing...I think Dave Whitlock was the author. I'll see if I can find it and send you a link

Chris,
I located that article, Go to Fly Fisherman Magazine. Enter Texas in their search box and the second article is "Hill Country Panfish"
