I'm doing another trip and making it longer. We didn't have near as much time to fish as I would have liked to. We had to paddle/drag kayaks 8 miles a day to get home on time, and it was a lot of work. Doing a 5 day trip next time so we can enjoy it more.
This was more of a trial run than anything. There were 4 of us and we had never done anything even remotely similar in our lifetimes.
If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter.
I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

Do you know what the flow was for your float? I did it 7 or 8 years ago, at about 180 cfs, and it was way too low. We didn't have any time to fish, and had to paddle long and hard to make the takeout on schedule. Still it was a blast, and the Devils is an awesome river. I'd like to do it again but with a higher flow.

Great pics. You have seen and travelled parts of Texas that many Texans will never see in their lifetime. Great job.

Thanks for the post!

My brother was a guide for the Boy Scouts up on Moose Lake in MN for the canoe base. We went on a 9 day trek up into Canada through Prairie Portage. We ended up going a total of 115+ miles in 9 days. My next goal was to find a spot in Texas to have a canoe trip down a river. This may be it!

Great pictures. Thanks and enjoyed it. Water looks super clear. Look at doing BBNP to Dryden/ Langtry, Or even better the Western Canyons leading into BBNP. Canyons are unbelievable pretty.
