The water
Guadalupe River (Canyon Dam tailwater) is a tailwater below Canyon Dam in Austin, fished for trout, striped bass, bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass — rainbow, brown. On dam-controlled water the generation schedule is the whole story: the wade window is the no-generation block, and rising water at the gauge means the pulse is arriving.
