The Upstream Hutto Cemetary Wade Near Riverwalk Park
Details
Fishing Brushy was good last Saturday. It was great to see Karim and here's a pic of him in action. A big bass accepted my offering (Bam!) of a large Rio Bandito and got away. It was in a deep pool and the current was a bit higher than normal. Excellent day! Let's go upstream and explore and view the new beautiful artwork of nature there.
Please note: The bathrooms at the swimming pool will not be open. This is where we will be parking.
Have you read Aaron Reed's book Fly Fishing in Austin and Central Texas yet? 🤔❓Let's have our rods rigged up and ready to walk at 7am. Bring water with you!
Aaron says at the 0.8-mile pool, there are big carp and Guadalupes, and that it may be the best fishing of your year. 🤩🎣
I have found that parking and starting near the Swimming Pool here:

It is much easier to walk from the swimming pool to get to the deep pools quickly than to walk downstream from the Riverwalk Park Pedestrian Bridge. I know the shortcuts to get to the creek. I have caught Guadalupe Bass and several types of sunfish. The longear sunfish are a brilliant turquoise green. I'll post a pic of it.
It's about 0.8 miles downstream to the deep pools close to the Cemetery. Brushy Creek is beautiful, especially the limestone cliffs at the Cemetery. There are two or three long, deep, green pools. Chris Johnson says to cast very close to the bank (on the deepest side of the pool) and let it sink to catch the large ones. There's even a large limestone rock that you can sit on and fish from.
I haven’t explored past the 0.8-mile mark yet. So, if anyone wants to check it out, feel free. It would be easy to spend more than three hours fishing here on this beautiful part of Brushy Creek.
