For nearly 20 years I have been living, fishing and guiding here in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Many of you have taken one of my casting lessons, attended one of my workshops, seen me on television or read one of my magazine articles and know that fishing the Texas Hill Country is my true passion. I have always believed that we live in a largely untapped fly fishing paradise.

Like most of you, Bud Priddy’s groundbreaking book, Fly Fishing the Texas Hill Country, opened up a whole new world of fly fishing opportunities. With Bud’s untimely passing the book was headed for obscurity but after years of research and the cooperation and blessing of the Priddy family, I have been blessed with the task of updating and republishing this classic book.

The Fourth Edition of Fly Fishing the Texas Hill Country is slated to be in stores all across Texas in December 2008.
