Don't guess they'll let you patrol the river walk looking for fish, will they? Wish I could help you out but all my bowfishing has been in the waters up here around D/FW. Lots of gar in the Trinity River.

Calaveras used to be hell-with-the-lid-off for Tilapia, but it's beenpretty well shot-up and cast-netted out for years. Still some nice stringers to be had out there.

Only problem right now is access from the bank. SRA has got the whole north end of the park shut down... they are converting the whole park to pay/reservation picnic sites. If you've got a boat, you can scoot in, get out and walk the bank, I wuz told.

Plenty of Tilapia layed-up in those reed beds, good eating too.

Never tried Braunig, but my cousin says you need a boat to hunt Braunig. Bank shooting works fine at Calaveras, but the north end of the park is the best place to go and whack 'em.

Other than that I don't know much abt San 'tone bowfishing. I'm from Williamson Co. myself. I know that there used to be metric buttloads of Tilapia in and around the zoo.

Hadn't been to that zoo in decades, they had a cow African elephant chained to a post... made my guts ache to look at that poor creature.

Zoos suck out-loud!

Art, I was always afraid to get mugged at the Trinity, especially in Dallas.!!!
