Medina River - First Rain after a Drought - McFly Angler Episode 119

South Texas has had very little rain over the past 3 months which is very rare for the Summer months here. Many of the rivers were dried up, or had too little flow to fish. Even the Medina only had a couple deep holes still holding water. So you know my excitement when it finally rained pretty good last week, and I just had to go give fishing a go. After almost 3 months since I fished by myself, it was really nice to finally have a rod in my hand and wading through a river. I was debating whether to fish the Guadalupe river or the Medina river. Im really happy I chose the Medina.

I was able to land quite a few bass, and two of them actually where pretty decent size. I also got quite a few sunfish, and even a couple Rio's with one of them being one of the largest Ive ever caught on this river. Unfortunately my camera died when I hooked into that one so I only was able to film it with my phone.

Beautiful spot. Hoping we get enough rain soon to get the creeks flowing around here. Keep up the good work.

Fishing for the dinks. The 3wt will make them feel a little heavier so fun. I had 3lber the other day felt like a 5. But those bigger sunfish can pretty fun when they have a fight in them. Enjoyed watching you fish man

Interesting, 😅there are lots of small fish; there are so many small ones that the big ones don’t have a chance? Does the false casting put the bigger fish down? Rainbows would never tolerate it.

I’m planning on fishing the Medina for the first time this weekend. Was this above or below Medina lake?
