Lloyd Tackitt State Editor
I live on the edge of the Brazos River. I walk out my front door and into the river and - boom - I am fishing just like that. For me the river is fascinating. The mile long stretch I fish is a microcosm of the river, I have it all in that one mile. Trying to figure out where the fish are, what they are doing, why they are doing it, what they are biting, if they are biting - this is what keeps me in the river casting flys. I fly fish almost exclusively. It isn’t that I am a fly fishing snob, it’s that fly fishing works – it’s effective - and it has added benefits. I carry all my tackle in a vest, no tackle box needs to be dragged along. The casting itself is fun, even when I don’t catch fish I’ve enjoyed the experience of casting. Fly rods enhance the experience of bringing fish in. I like the hands on the line feel instead of the feel of line spooling up on a reel and muted down through a gear and crank system. Fish fight better and feel better on a fly rod. Fly fishing just feels better to me than other methods.

Jc Gwynne
Hello My name is Jc Gwynne or “The Amistad Man” as some of you have come to know me on the fishing forums. I have had the pleasure and great fortune to be raised on Lake Amistad which I have fished for the past 30 years. I currently spend 280+ days on the water and have enjoyed every moment of it. I have seen Lake Amistad at it's highest and lowest levels and I am prepared to show you Lake Amistad like you have never seen her before. I have gained a wealth of knowledge over the years from not only fishing Lake Amistad but fishing tournament trails all over Texas to bring you an awesome learning experience on what the fishing industry has labled the best BIG BASS lake in the State of Texas, LAKE AMISTAD!
