The Llano River

The Llano River is a spring-fed stream just a short distance outside of Austin and is widely known for its scenic beauty. The Llano River is formed in Kimble County by the union of the North and South Llano Rivers. The main stream flows east through Kimble, Mason, and Llano Counties for approximately 100 miles before joining the Colorado River.

The Llano is home to the Guadalupe Bass, the state fish of Texas. Sometimes referred to as the "Texas Trout" because of its fondness for faster flowing water and its fighting ability when hooked, the Guadalupe Bass is endemic to Central Texas and an increasinly popular bucket-list-fish to mark off! 

Also found in the Llano River are largemouth bass, several species of sunfish, catfish, gar, carp and our native cichlid, the Rio Grande Cichlid. Most days on the river will result in a wide variety of species.
