Jay Gee OutdoorsSan Marcos Headwater Float
Launching at Rio Vista, located in San Marcos. Experience the headwaters of the San Marcos river from the comfort of a raft. San Marcos is a natural spring that comes out of the ground at 72° and stays that way consistently all year. With multiple endangered species, it’s truly a crystal clear paradise. With an abundance of Guadalupe, spotted, and largemouth bass these fish are extremely skittish due to lots of pressure and ultra clear water. This trip is primarily good in the fall, winter, and early spring. This is definitely not a trip where you cover miles of water. It’s a relatively small section that requires working spots and a more dialed in presentation. The fishing here can be very tough but also very rewarding.

San Marcos river upper-low section
The fishing on this section can be slow for the first half. Launching at skulls road and getting out at martindale river access. This area is primarily pretty open and easy to fish. Largemouth and gar are the main target for the first half of the trip. Lots of slack water and pads, carp can be sight fishing depending on conditions. There is a big portage over the damn but it’s relatively easy and doesn’t require any help. Under the damn is loaded with anything from hybrid striped bass, black bass , gar , and crappie! This can be fished fast in a few hours or can be picked apart and slowed down to a full day. Once past the damn it’s relatively shallow with a few opportunities to target some big tilapia. Big striper have been caught under the damn so you never know what you might get on this one!

San Marcos Upper-Mid Float
Launching at scouts camp just south of the city of San Marcos, and taking out at skulls crossing. This is one of the more popular routes people fish. With a healthy mix of rapid sections and bigger slow moving areas this section has a lot of variety and holds really good quality fish. There are some spots I recommend wading but it’s not a necessity. The Guadalupe bass and smallmouth are the main target around rapid sections and moving water. While largemouth and gar are usually holding around pools. Summer time this is a place you want to fish the morning due to tubers. This section is also great during the white bass run.

Upper San Marcos Float
Launching from the southside of San Marcos, this float is the most challenging for any angler. Super small water shallow in ultra clear with finicky fish and more logjams and overhangs, and you can shake a stick at. I feel like this trip above all others requires the most skill in casting. The section is also super rewarding and holds lots of big Guadalupe bass. The San Marcos meets up with the Blanco river. At the confluence, you will go from small water to bigger river. There’s also a dam with a dangerous portage here the portage definitely requires a hefty amount of work for both of us. If you have any problems getting around or any injuries that could impact you, I would stay away from this one. Under the dam provides great fishing and highly oxygenated water, which holds good fish. This trip is a couple miles long and offers a variety of different environments and challenges.

San Marcos Headwaters Walk and Wade
Experienced the headwaters of the San Marcos on foot! Located right off the Square downtown San Marcos is loaded with public access spots, crystal clear water in an abundance of wildlife in and out of the river. For this trip, I like people to use their own rods and gear if they can because this is a trip where I show you where YOU can fish on your own in the future without a guide. Depending on the time of year a few short drives might be required, but nothing more than 15 minutes. Remember, this trip is in the city so it’s more of a different experience than other trips on the river.
