Outings Colorado Bend State Park

by Kathi Harris and ChatGPT

In March, six avid anglers from Austin Fly Fishers camped, fished and enjoyed Colorado Bend State Park over a six-day period. Despite poor conditions for white bass fishing, the group still managed to catch an array of fish, including carp, freshwater drum, crappie, and a few white bass.

The weather was generally good during the trip, but it was fairly windy for four out of the six days. Nevertheless, we all found fish while kayaking, wading, or bank fishing.

A side benefit of the low water conditions was being able to see the stunning rock formations that are typically hidden behind waterfalls. In the evenings, we enjoyed happy hours and camaraderie around the campfire.

Overall, the Austin Fly Fishers’ outing to Colorado Bend State Park was a fun trip. Despite the less than perfect conditions, everyone was able to catch fish and enjoy the natural beauty of the park.
