Being in the customer service business myself, I appreciate AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE more than the…read moreaverage person. Amazing customer service from a fly fishing guide on a fly fishing trip in the heat of the summer you ask? Absolutely. Let me explain. All the fly fishing I have done has been in Colorado for trout, but I live in Texas and wanted to know how to fly fish for bass, sunfish, and gar on the San Marcos River where I own property. The folks at the Orvis Fly Shop strongly recommended Kevin and he did not disappoint. His knowledge of the river, the fish, and the skill set you need to fish the river are mind blowing. It would have taken me years of trial and error to learn what I learned from Kevin on a single day trip. For lunch, we set up under an ancient Cypress tree where Kevin broke out the portable chairs and a table. That was quickly followed by the BBQ chicken, three-bean salad, sliced fruit, and some ridiculously good brownies, all made by Kevin himself. You just can't beat that. After that, we worked our way down the river where Kevin continued to put me on fish and teach me what I needed to know. I lost track of how many fish we caught during the day but it was a lot. I even managed to hook a good-sized gar though I didn't set the hook hard enough to keep him on the line. Once we wrapped up the day I thanked Kevin for everything he had taught me during the day. He was more than gracious and thanked me by giving me a gift basket full of Hill Country Fly Fishers schwag. Who does that? Kevin does. What kind of schwag you ask? A Coca-Cola, two Hill Country Fly Fishers whiskey glasses, two travel bottles of whiskey, sunglasses float cord, a lens cloth, two koozies, peanuts, and a sunglass case. Now THAT is customer service. The overall experience was phenomenal and the customer service was even better. I'll rebook again and again when it cools off. If you're looking for a guide in the Austin/San Antonio area, this man is as good as it gets! Happy fishing!

Met Kevin for a day and a half trip on the San Marcos river. I had never touched a fly rod and…read moreKevin had me up and casting in a very short period of time. He is extremely patient, even as I caught tree after tree. I think he was as excited as I was each time I hooked a fish. I caught more than my share of the prized Guadalupe Bass. Kevin took care of every little detail and would not let me help him with anything, I was totally pampered all day. We stopped mid-day on a sand bar and ate a gourmet meal complete with red and white table cloth. If you are wanting to learn the sport, I cannot imaging any better way to be exposed than spending a day on the river with Kevin. I enjoyed it so much, the next day I went to Orvis and bought my first fly rod. He is a true professional.

As a local Bastropian, I've always been treated well in here, and Troy is very helpful every time I stop by. If you come with cash, you get a discount when you pay cash--cash is king. They always have a nice selection of used firearms and you never know what you're gonna see. Definitely glad to support the local owned stores in our community however I can.

This is a good sized park with a lot of green space that is located directly behind the Fleming…read morecommunity center which also houses the Elgin city hall. It's closest neighbors are a funeral home next-door, and the Elgin cemetery directly behind it. There are uncovered benches and picnic tables throughout the park, but no grills. This park, if you're not from here, can be a little challenging to find, since there is only a narrow way in and out from behind the community center. The park is nicely taken care of and manicured, but there are numerous large ant mounds everywhere and ducks that expect to be fed. There are public bathrooms on the property with stainless receptacles and they are relatively clean. Definitely a nice local park for the Elgin residents to enjoy. The photos tell the rest.

Awesome mini adventure…read more The wife and I had always wanted to try kayaking. We rented a tandem for just one hour and realized, "been there, done that that". That's enough. Our rotator cuffs and shoulders have had it. We no know whatever we're up against should we have another stupid idea. Going back down the river is easier...just not THAT easy. Great folks (young-ins) running the booth. CritDicks

Went at 8 before it got too hot and Bailey picked us up (who was super nice and we enjoyed our convo on the way back).

Highly recommend.

Always my #1 recommendation for a gun range. They have…read moregreat prices - the range fee covers the whole day, however long you'd like to stay. Unlike other places that only allow 45mins to an hour. They have firearms for rent and for sale. It's FAMILY OWNED, and takes good care of their employees. It's also a woman owned business - I always love that. They have a shotgun range, a .22 steel target range, pistol range, a rifle range, and a private shooting bay that you can rent if you have a small party of friends or want to do some private training/lessons there. My favorite thing about it? It still embodies the old Texas spirit, it's a true Texas experience here.

I love that fact and driving was nice part. They have kengaroos, including baby, talking parrot, beautiful wild cats, lion, rino, lemurs, alligators, turtles, wild pig, and lots of deers and other small creatures. The best part was a big old owl by the entrance. Before leaving the property we stopped to look at him, and he was making noises. He was interacting with us. They have small playground and restrooms on site. I would say for us an hour was enough to spent in there.
