I recently accepted an intern position at the Attwater National Prairie Chicken Preserve. I have been researching the fishing opportunities down there and it looks pretty bleak for the trout fishing. Anyone have any input on what to fish for down there and maybe some useful patterns. I am normally a trout snob and usually will not fish for bass, but since my career takes me to the hot backwards land of Texas I must find another source for my art to continue. I am also thinking about maybe trying to fish for some saltwater species since I will be on the coast and maybe a toothy gar or two may be worth stalking.
