Rio Anglers

Rio Anglers is based in New Braunfels and runs guided fly fishing on the Guadalupe River, the tailwater section the company describes as one of the southernmost trout fisheries in the United States. The river page describes water shaped by limestone bluffs and deep pools, and the outfit uses rafts to reach the deeper holding water that is hard to cover from the bank. Rainbow trout and brown trout are the focus through the colder months, when the tailwater fishes best. Striped bass are available across the year, and native bass and sunfish become the targets once the water warms. Both full day and half day options are referenced. Judson Cole is the guide featured on the site. Beyond New Braunfels, Rio Anglers lists Austin, San Marcos and San Antonio among the areas it serves, which places the Guadalupe within reach of anglers coming from either end of the I-35 corridor. Rates are quoted by phone or through the contact page rather than posted.
