Alvin Dedeaux's Tip of the Week
During the warmer months the trout in the Guadalupe River will be extremely stressed. Low flows and high water temperatures will result in many of the trout dying after being released. Until the cooler temperatures return in the fall it is best to pursue the warm water species.
