Well a couple of buddies and I just got back from 5 nights of camping, fishing, and having a damn good time at the Devils River. Thought I would show off some of the pictures I got. It was an amazing time in an amazing place. Fishing was slow, or maybe we are just inexperienced, but everyone we caught was nice. View from a cliff we hiked first morning: Pretty flower, anyone know what kind?: Smallie, the cliff in the background is where the first picture was taken: Serene afternoon on the rio: Largemouth: Rio Grande Beaver: Dolan Falls: Very old Trans-Pecos Indian cave writing the Park police officer took us too: Finagin Springs, 20,000 gallons a minute flows from the cliff on the park riverfront:

Wow some great pictures. Water looks great. Thanks. Always wanted to make a trip down it. How much sunburn did you get in the 5 days

Wow some great pictures. Water looks great. Thanks. Always wanted to make a trip down it. How much sunburn did you get in the 5 days actually not that much, kept covered up with long sleeves most of the time when fishing. It was pretty brisk with a wind and the water was COLD, so we did not swim a whole lot. A trip down the river is definitely in my future at some point.

Awesome! One day I'll go. Did you camp in a tent or trailer? What kind of access for kayaks and conoes

slept on the ground most of the nights, had a tent in case of rain...access for canoes/kayaks is not the greatest. At the SNA it is about a mile hike to the river from the parking area, we used a modified big game cart to carry it. It is a rough road and uphill both ways. Luckily the guys that worked there let us keep our canoe/fishing gear at the river so we only had to do haul it twice.
Buckrage-it is pretty much close to nowhere, the 22 mile caliche road is off of highway 277 between Del Rio and Sonora
