OUTDOORS

Fishing from the Arroyo Colorado River near Rio Hondo has been lots of fun for the last four months. I don’t catch as many fish as I do at Aransas Pass but most of the fish I catch here are larger.

When I arrived in October, the fishermen at the River Ranch Resort where we are living were pretty closed-mouthed about their favorite fishing spots on the river. So I had to learn the river by myself. I was on a bit of a learning curve, but now I am catching more fish than any of the fishermen in the park. They say it’s because I am the park preacher.
