About this ebook

Bayou City: An Angler’s Paradise

The fourth-largest city in the U.S. has a secret hiding in plain sight: All that water means it’s a fabulous place for fly fishing. Travel no further than to the city’s “concrete flats” to stalk carp with Houston’s iconic skyline as a backdrop. Just outside the metro area, wade in the secluded spring-fed waters of the Pineywoods to find spotted bass, largemouth bass, and a variety of panfish. Launch a canoe or kayak in nearby lakes and backwaters to search for gar and bowfin. Add some adventure with a trip to Village Creek, a fascinating biozone where bass and catfish thrive along with four varieties of carnivorous plants and 35 species of orchids. With Fly Fishing Houston & Southeastern Texas as your guide, discover the rewards for anglers this unique region offers, from inside the city limits to the countryside beyond.

Author

Robert H. McConnell

Robert H. McConnell was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania. It was in the woods of the Appalachian foothills where he developed an affinity for fishing and the outdoors. Robert pursued a degree in geology, mainly because it was the only class that offered frequent field trips to the great outdoors. In 2014, Robert and his wife, Ellen, moved to Houston, Texas where they currently reside. He continues his passion for fishing and can often be found exploring the waterways of East Texas. Robert is also the author of Fly Fishing the Sam: A Guidebook to Exploring the Creeks, Rivers, and Bayous of Sam Houston National Forest.
