I didn't think there was much interest here in fly fishing before but after seeing a few other's posts in various threads it appears I'm not the only one here hooked on it. (Pun very much intended)
So, Fly Fishermen and Women, show yourselves! Where is your home water, what's your favorite catch, what's your favorite fly?
I'll start.
I'm Chris
My true home water is in New Hampshire but my new home water is now Central Texas.
I've always loved Rainbow Trout but I am finding myself targeting Redfish a lot down here.
My favorite fly is an olive damsel concoction I've been working on. Its pretty productive on rivers and creeks here in the hill country.

I'm in Austin as well, I've never even considered fly fishing Brushy Creek, where are you throwing that line at? I ride the mountain bike out there a lot, and that picture of my Son was actually taken there. Over by the rail trestle, we saw a lot of smaller fish hanging out in the shallows and I told Jack "too bad we don't have fly rods with us" but I wasn't really serious. that's a great idea.The Guad is a great river. I'm In Austin so I fish most of the creeks around here. I also like the Pedernales and Llano. Brushy Creek is good too, if you don't mind running into snakes. Lunkers are more fun on a fly rod so I don't think you have to worry too much there. Nothing wrong with fishing both types of gear. I break out the spinning rod sometimes too. If you guys want more specifics or a Hill Country fishing buddy let me know. I'm always up for some mid air knot tying [emoji12].

Yep! Frustrating at first, once you get your rhythm it becomes almost natural.It's not hard just frustrating at times. It takes practice and patience.

THAT is beautiful right there.Tuolumne Meadows, this is my wife! We just got into fly fishing and love it!
Gorgeous
I just found a guy who posts on IG about fly fishing Brushy Creek. Living waters fly fishingPedernales is epic, if you have the patience. I fish Bull Creek a lot, the Colorado below the dam is fun. Red Bud Island is often action packed. My friend has some land on the llano out in mason so that's fun when I want a fair enter that I'm the only person out there. You can throw flies in all the same places as a spinning rod. Takes some practice and knowledge of what to throw and how to retrieve but is very rewarding when successful.
