As suddenly as the color appears, the leaves fall, and winter blankets the landscape. Then another kind of bird is welcomed here. The snowbirds arrive. Some already know about the park while others are delighted with the serendipity and decide to extend their stay. Over the last few years, in the winter months, the park has been privileged to be listed among the areas to have trout released in the river.
Fishing is available at any time of the year.
Guadalupe Bass, the State Fish of Texas, large mouth bass and catfish have been plucked out of the river to the delight of fishermen. Articles in San Antonio Express and the Houston Chronicle state that the South Llano River is an excellent river for those interested in fly fishing. Not only is the majority of the river bank open April 1 for six months, but the public also gains access to the two-acre oxbow lake located a short distance behind the campground. It, too, is stocked with bass and catfish. In accordance with the stocking program, however, the bass are released back into the lake.
