Trip Initiator: Frank Patino & Juan-Carlos Lopez
Trip Description:
This is the most prestigeous river fishing trip in all of Texas. If you have always wanted a challenge but never found it, this is definitely the trip for you. This is an ADVANCED trip. Do not do this trip if you think you can complete it. You need to know you will finish it. This river is both beautiful and challenging. There are rapids, water falls, fishing, and plenty of paddling. You will NOT want to bring a peddle kayak on this trip.
We will camp on the evening of Wednesday in preparation for launching on Thursday. The trip, from Houston, Texas to the camp grounds, is slightly less than 6 hours. We will camp on the river on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We will wake up on Sunday morning and paddle some more. We should be off the water approximately 3:00 pm, pack up, and headed to our perspective homes.
Attendees must be a current PACK member, dues and waiver completed.
*** Fees and description are subject to change.
