About Llano River

The crown jewel of Texas warmwater fly fishing. Spring-fed and crystal clear, the Llano runs over limestone bedrock through open ranchland — perfect for sight-fishing Guadalupe bass, the state fish of Texas and endemic to the Hill Country. Multiple TPWD public access points make it accessible without guide fees. Featured in Fifty More Places to Fly Fish Before You Die. Topwater action from March through October rivals anything in the Southeast for sheer visual excitement.
