Spring Break at Devils River SNA

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:

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:

That place would be sick with a fly rod.

Very cool pics. Looks like quite an adventure.

Awesome pictures...Looks like yall had a great time

Great PICS!! I love the color of Smallmouths

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

Nice photos looks like a lot of fun and relaxation

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.

Wow that is awesome good pictures Devil's River is one trip that I have always wanted to go on but I haven't got to go yet it's cool you got to catch small and largemouth at the same time I never knew they had smallmouth down there

That looks awesome! Gonna ha e to go one of these days. Where is this near?

Buddy that looks like a great trip, like the pictures. Always thought that would be a cool trip!

Thanks for sharing

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

Awesome trip!

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

Great pics and looks like a great trip

Great pics!

I've driven past the caliche road on the way to Del Rio, just never been able to check it out. It's on my to-do list, for sure.

bring chapstick and lotion if you are not acclimated to the dry air. I got ate up by it even though it is not that far removed from the hill country
