Texas Fishing Spots

If you've spent any time in the Texas Hill Country, you already know — the Boerne area is about as good as it gets for outdoor living in the Lone Star State. Rolling limestone hills, spring-fed rivers, and some of Texas's most scenic lakes sit right at the doorstep of Kendall County, making the area a natural draw for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who want the full Hill Country experience. And for those looking to own a piece of it, the land around Boerne continues to be among the most desirable in Texas.

Guadalupe River

The Guadalupe River is the crown jewel of Hill Country fishing and one of Texas's most beloved trout and bass fisheries. The stretch running through the Canyon Lake area just east of Boerne is well known for its rainbow trout fishing — one of the few places in Texas where trout can be caught in moving water — alongside excellent largemouth and Guadalupe bass action throughout the warmer months. It's a river that draws anglers from across the state and rewards those who take the time to learn its runs and pools.

Canyon Lake

Just a short drive from Boerne, Canyon Lake is one of the most productive fishing lakes in the Texas Hill Country. Known for its clear water and diverse fishery, Canyon Lake offers excellent opportunities for largemouth bass, striped bass, white bass, and catfish, with multiple boat ramps and shoreline access throughout the year. It's a destination that draws serious anglers and weekend recreationists alike, and its proximity to Boerne makes it a natural extension of the Hill Country lifestyle.

Medina Lake

Medina Lake sits to the south of Boerne in Bandera County and is one of Texas's oldest reservoirs, well known among local anglers for its largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish fishing. Water levels can vary, but when the lake is up, the fishing is exceptional — and the surrounding Hill Country landscape makes for one of the more scenic fishing settings in the state.

Guadalupe River State Park

Guadalupe River State Park sits just north of Boerne and offers direct river access for fishing, swimming, and paddling in a stunning Hill Country setting. The park's cypress-lined banks and clear, spring-fed water make it a natural gathering point for outdoor enthusiasts in the area, and it's one of those spots that locals visit regularly and visitors never forget.

Medina River & Area Ranch Ponds

The Medina River winds through Bandera and Medina counties offering additional fishing opportunities for bass and catfish in a quieter, more remote setting. And like much of the Texas Hill Country, the region is dotted with private ranch ponds that can offer outstanding bass fishing — many of which sit on properties that, every now and then, come to market.
