Kingfisher Inn's New Home

Greetings from Kingfisher Inn! It’s been awhile since I have checked in with my own version of a fishing report. A result, I suppose, of the busyness that comes with being a husband, father of five, minister, guide, and proprietor of Kingfisher Inn! I plan to be checking in on a weekly basis from here going forward. So keep coming back.

In case you haven’t heard, Lydia and I have moved Kingfisher Inn down the Arroyo a couple of miles to a much larger lodge setting with property adjacent to the Adolph Thomae County Park. We are still on the water with lighted docks and several boat slips. We are now the last stop before entering the park; the prime location for a fly fishing lodge. Please take some time to look at the great photos Capt. Scott Sparrow has placee on the lodging section of this website.

Both Scott and I are excited about the coming fishing season and believe the new location will give us more ways to serve you, our fly fishing clients. We can accommodate small groups of 2 to 6 fly fishers looking for lodging and dedicated fly fishing guides. And we can accommodate large groups of 12 or more anglers looking for a full service package that includes catered meals, transportation to and from the Harlingen Airport, and long days fly fishing the Lower Laguna Madre. We are even bringing back our Cast and Blast Packages that were so popular in the fall of 2007 and 2008! If you are a bird hunter, our white wing and mourning dove populations will amaze you. And the number of ducks that winter down here will bring a smile to your face!

Our price points for lodging have not changed much at all per angler. But, our options have increased greatly. So, please call or email for the details.

I have been on the water a couple of times in the last 5 days.The first photo you see is evidence of the great day my friend Billy Trimble and I had on the East Side sand. The number of fish on the sand has really increased this year. For a great explanation of this phenomenon pleas read Capt. Scott recent blog!

The second photo represents another great day of catching, this time on the west side of the Laguna. I had a great day on the water with my boys! They make me proud! Much better anglers than I was at their age. Early mornings in some of our favorite west side back water bay locations have been very productive. Summer fishing patterns have really set in. It is going to be a great summer of fishing!

Hope to see you down here soon. Come visit our new location.Come fish with Capt. Scott. The weather is beautiful!
