The Upper Llano Float Trip

The Llano River is a true Hill Country gem, and this float-style fishing trip lets you experience it at its natural pace. We drift by raft through clear water and rugged granite and sandstone stretches, stopping at proven pockets to fish for Guadalupe bass, Rio Grande cichlids, and a mix of sunfish, catfish, carp, and gar. Flowing from Kimble County through Mason County and into the Llano Arm of Lake LBJ, the river offers a constantly changing fishery set against remote, undeveloped land rich with wildlife. Every float feels like stepping into a quieter, wilder version of Texas where the journey is just as memorable as the fishing.
