GUIDED WADE FLY FISHING TRIPS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS

Some days, the best fly fishing is done on foot – slowly dissecting each run, riffle, and pool, one step at a time. Our half-day and full-day wade trips are a great way for you and your friends to put on some waders and explore one of the Texas rivers. You will get a chance to take an in-depth look at the bugs and fish that live beneath the water’s surface while surrounding yourself with some of the best scenery Texas has to offer. Wade trips are also a great way for you to work on technique while receiving specific, one-on-one instruction from a professional fly fishing guide.

Most of our guided wade fishing trips take place on either the Pedernales, Guadalupe, Llano, Blanco, San Gabriel, San Marcos, or Colorado rivers. We do take trips to wade fish Port Arthur, Port Aransas, Port O'Connor, and San Antonio Bay. Rather you are a seasoned angler or just trying it out for the first time, visit Black Swan Anglers to experience some of the best fly fishing in Texas.

Our unique excursion trips are all-inclusive fly-fishing Gold Medal destinations that offer an incredible opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while honing their fishing skills. This unique experience involves more than just casting a line; it encompasses a comprehensive package designed to provide a fulfilling and educational adventure.
