Whites on the Gabriel

[Mtltx]

How far up river from Tejas Park can I catch Whites? Do they travel farther up?

[Huntindad]

interested as well.

Sometimes when the water is down, they can't get past the ranch road crossing mile or so down river. When it is up, they will go as far as they can. I have been there when they were thick around the bridge, but just plain would not bite.

Depends on how the water is running. I have caught them under the 183 bridge before.

Really? Would of never thought they could go that far east.

When that's the case you must use a tiny hook and tiny river minnow with no weight

They go a lot further when flooding which happens once every 10-15 years.

I've got a few deep holes close to where we are. The water has been up more than normal lately. I was thinking about catching some minnows with a cast net and trying it out. I'm just west of the bridge off Ronald Reagan. Wasn't sure if they really do get that far or not?

I've seen them while looking off the CR 257 bridge that is only half a mile down stream of the 183 bridge. I looked yesterday at the river behind the house and they weren't there yet. I'm a mile down stream of Tejas.

The river is up about 3' this morning, not muddy but off colored. They ought to start pretty soon.

yeah, I figured at that point it was river minna time. I had a cast net, but I think my son has it or had it and it is probably history by now. May have to get another one.

What type of water do you look for to cast out for minnas? slow, shallow?

Usually cast net holes are way too big to catch the baby minnows lock jawed whites eat. Need a small seine.

But if using a net throw in shallow rapids and pull in super fast. The wave will push some on the rocks that would normally get away.

Catching a few at Granger. Dickerson Bottom yesterday morning.

Nice! I'm hoping to try next weekend.

Kiddo and I checked it out about two weeks ago. Didn't stay long as we had fished the steps earlier. Was told its about a mile walk towards the lake before you get into any kind of deeper water.

Don't know how much it may have come up with the storm that just passed.

They will not make it there.

If you are in Leander then you are on the south Gabriel so they won't be there. On the north Gabriel then you may have some get that far this year.

I'm on the north Gabriel. I've heard folks have caught them all the way up to the 183 bridge on the north Gabriel.
