December 2, 2025

Discover why December is the best time for fly fishing on the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels, TX.

Tips, guides & local insight from Calm Water Rentals.

River flowing through a lush green forest, under a cloudy sky.

If you've never fly fished the Guadalupe River in the winter, you're missing the best season to land a rainbow.


December is peak time for guided fly fishing trips in New Braunfels, TX. The river is stocked, the crowds are low, and the water is cold—just the way trout like it.


We spent the morning with Lone Star Fly Fishing, and it was everything you'd hope for: expert guidance, peaceful scenery, and that moment when Jack hooked into a fat rainbow. It was the kind of day that makes you forget about screens, school schedules, or traffic back home.


Hiring a guide isn’t just helpful—it’s smart. They know where the fish are biting and what flies they’re chasing. You’ll spend less time guessing and more time catching.


Even if you’ve never picked up a fly rod, this river makes it easy to fall in love with the sport. Pair a fishing trip with a stay in one of our cozy cabins or Tipis, and you’ve got a stress-free getaway with just the right amount of adventure.


📍Tip: Book early if you’re planning for the weekend. Guides and cabins fill up fast in the winter months.
