Jack,
Thanks again. We ended up making reservations at
the Homestead Studio Suites on Town Lake at First Street. We are
staying Saturday night also, so I might be able to make it out Sunday
morning too. Now I wonder how early I can rent a boat at the Holiday
Inn!
I get Southwest Fly Fishing, but didn't see that
article. Guess I'll look again.

I looked it up. That weekend, the Austin Fly Fishers is going to camp
and fish on the San Saba. Through an oversight, we aren't going on
normal June trip on the Llano at Homer Martin's so we're going to stay
at a place on the San Saba. That's about 30 miles north of Mason. The
river there is supposed to be deep, slow and clear, lightly fished and
full of big bass. You, and everyone else, would be welcome to come
with us. Supposedly you wouldn't need a boat for this location. I'll
post some more info when I have it.
This month's Southwest Fly Fishing has an article by Phil Shook about
fishing Town Lake in Austin. Says pretty much about what I told you.
It also talks about our annual tournament, the AFF Perchmaster's
Classic. This year I replaced Lane as the Perchmaster.

Thanks. Town Lake would be right there. Maybe
I can take my tube along.

Believe it or not, there are some big fish in Town Lake, downtown
austin. They can be hard to catch tho'. The lake record for sunnies
is almost 3 pounds, bass close to 10. There are also some huge carp.
The upper third of the lake is better, barton springs/Austin high on
up. Best from a canoe or kayak, since no wading is allowed. There's a
rental place at the Holiday Inn at I-35 and the lake if you don't want
to bring your own. June 19 sets off alarms for something, I'll have to
check my calendar and get back to you.
