Texas' Native Guadalupe Bass!

Meet the official state fish of Texas and the gem of central Texas: the Guadalupe Bass! Native only to the clear, groundwater-influenced streams of the Texas Hill Country, this spunky fish is an amazing catch and will absolutely tear into your light tackle and crater your topwater. "If they want to eat your fly, there's nothing you can do to get it away from them. They will outrun it, they will eat it, and if they miss it, a lot of times they'll eat it again. They have a pretty bad attitude and I love that about them."Our Guest Chris Johnson from Living Waters Fly Fishing brings enthusiasm and passion for what the Texas Hill Country has to offer from a native fishing and place-based perspective. Come experience this special place and fish and while you're at it, get after your Hill Country double (Guadalupe Bass + Rio Grande Cichlid)!You might also like these episodes:S2:E31 Rio Grande (Texas) CichlidS2:E43 Beneath the City: North America's BlindcatsS3:E13 Mexican TetraS3:E49 Texas' Fountain Darter
