A few years ago I did an article on the drought going on here in Texas that was affecting the Guadalupe River. This section which is part of the Upper Guad had recieved very little rain in 2009 and dropped so much that the flow had almost completely stopped going into the lake.
This is what it looked like at the time.....
The river rose to good levels in 2010 due to a decent amount of rainfall for the year, then it happened again. Around September of 2010 the rain quit falling and with the extreme drought and heat that we are having the river is starting to shrink again.
Here are pictures from a few weeks ago as I did a wade trip with the fly rod....
Here are a few pictures from yesterday....
A few from the rainy years...
I'm sure that this is not the only river that is being affected in this state but it's the one that I frequent the most.
Someone send some water this way.
