Let's not underestimate the brutality of the blizzard Central and South Texas have just endured. It was so bad, public schools in Austin were closed.

There's a ton of useful information at troutbitten.com. You might also try tacticalflyfisher.com. If you want a DVD, you could do worse than this: http://www.tacticalflyfisher.com/modern ... ance-egan/.

I love my Simms BOA boots. It's so nice not to have to untie wet laces.

They don't really have much of a grip, though, so I just add some cheap studs. Works like a charm.

Registration is open as of yesterday.

Not a hack exactly, but a way to save a lot of money and to catch more fish: use hen hackle or partridge on dry flies.

Excellent.

Oh well. Given what's happening in Houston, I hate hoping for another hurricane; perhaps some nice lingering storms.

At any rate, it's good that we'll have some holdovers. And it's great that we have Jimbo working tirelessly for the organization. He's the most important holdover.

Did Harvey ever get much west of Austin? Did we get rains along the upper Guad?

Stunning reports, Jimbo. Words can't express my gratitude for being able to tag along with you through your prose. Keep it up!

We got some heavy rain in Austin. How did the upper basin do?

Makes sense. Thanks, Jimbo.

I'm beating those drums, but I'm also curious as to why so much water was released so quickly from the lake earlier this year. We could have had pool if a bit less water had been released, or if had been released more gradually.

Thank you. I appreciate the information.

Where in Central Texas?

Anybody run into white bass lately? My brother-in-law is visiting and I'd like to put him onto some white bass.
