I went to the slab on Friday morning and was on the water at 0605. I had to wait for the sunlight so I didn't break an ankle. The water was beautiful and there was plenty of flow through the pools all across the width of the river; although none of them were very deep. I walked upstream for about 3/4 of a mile and saw some fish, but most of them saw me first. I tried a hellgramite pattern, a foam frog, large nymphs, a crawfish and several minnow patterns. I started with 1X tippet and got to 5X fluorocarbon. The water was very clear. I caught a few Sunfish on small nymphs and one foam spider. Otherwise, all I got was alot of practice casting. I did not do any better on the return trip to the truck. It was a good exploratory trip, but I won't be hurrying back.

I fished downstream from the 3404 low water crossing. I fished down one side of the big island and back up the other side. I caught: a lot of little five and six inch sunfish, one ten inch Guadalupe bass, one ten inch white bass (where did he come from?), and one fourteen incher that I didn't recognise but I believe is some kind of a sucker (see photo). All the fish were caught on subsurface flies: clousers and woolybuggers. The water was clear. The USGS guaging station in the town of Llano was reading about 410 cfs, and wading was easy.

Went fishing on the Llano River last Sunday, April 22, 2007 with Cris Johnson and his father. We parked and started wading down stream at about 12:15PM from Fm 3404 Kingsland Slab Low water crossing bridge. We fished until 3:00PM. We all caught Guadalupe's, sunfish. I added a nice size sucker to my list of species caught on a fly rod, which I caught on my 3wt/4wt ADG Titan Rod with WF/4wt/floating line 7.5' leadr+tippet, "cheeto" fly... Cris and his father both caught some nice Gradalupes and sunfish. River flow was perfect for wading and the water clarity was clear.
