98% of where I was is still sterile. A few small bait fish and sunfish have washed in with a rise in the river. The trophy bass and catfished perished.
@@billemshoff9335 Uhhhgggg. So sorry to hear that. From your video last year, I assumed that happened but was hopeful that the river bounced back and repopulated. I have a special affinity for the Llano as it was my escape from Austin for years. My son and I took many trips and fished from all crossings from Telegram all the way down to Llano.
I have a Smith rod holder pinned to my chest pack. I have lost so many fish on a Game Changer, and I was so nervous that I became worthless. I even landed it with my right hand instead of my left hand. This was a special fish because this river had dried up, and this nice fish survived. If it had gotten away, it would have been a big disappointment.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It reminded me of fishing on the Blanco near Wimberley. And for some reason, watching you fish with that classic rod on that beautiful stretch of river made me think about John Graves fishing the upper Brazos back in the late fifties, from his book,” Goodbye to a River.” I think I will just have to reread that wonderful book. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
So glad to see the Llano with water and fish resident again! Thanks for your video. Makes me happy to see my old haunts.

Glad to see you out fishing! Thank you for posting!😉👍
Great video, glad to see you posting again.
Glad you’re out fishing!
You make the best videos and that last bass was really neat. Were you using a CFO reel?

They make rod holders now that fit on your belt. Makes everything easier and you don’t have to set your pole in the rocks.
