State Fish
Pure-strain Guadalupe Bass, the
official freshwater state fish of
Texas, are quite common here
and grow to trophy size! Look for
'lupes at the edge of fast water.

Ever see a wild turkey fly to roost?
You can see it here. Large numbers of native Rio
Grande turkeys forage and roost along the San
Saba River. It's just one possibility in an area
teeming with wildlife. Beaver, deer, armadillos,
jackrabbits and cottontails all are common here. In
addition to turkeys, kingfishers, herons, egrets and
a wide variety of songbirds live on or visit the river.

Yeah, but how's the fishing?
In a word: fantastic! The upper San Saba River is
heavily vegetated and supports a diverse, quality
fishery. Largemouth bass over 2 pounds are quite
common, and 4-6 pounders are boated nearly
every trip. A few anglers land an 8-pound or better
largemouth, a true achievement on a Hill Country
stream! Guadalupe bass, a true Texas native, are
aggressive feeders and hard fighters. Smaller than
their bucketmouth cousins, 'lupes here are
common in the 12-14-inch range, and true trophies
over 15 inches are not unheard of. Some folks
think the next world record Guadalupe Bass may
come from this river. Trophy-size common carp
and buffalo, double-digit cats (blue, yellow and
channel), spotted gar and a variety of sunfish
round-out the possibilities here.
