Brushy Creek

The often overlooked Brushy Creek has a rich history and produces some of our most memorable days of fishing. This little creek runs right through the heart of Round Rock and cradles the city’s namesake, a large round rock anchored securely to the limestone creek bed. This rock was used as a landmark on the Chisholm Trail during the pioneer days. The iconic rock designated a safe place to ford the creek and even today the solid limestone streambed bears wagon wheel ruts of times past. 

Unlike most rivers throughout the Texas Hill Country, our “home water” — our fly shop is located just minutes from its cool, clear water — fishes more like a coldwater trout stream than a warmwater bass creek. This one fact gives little Brushy Creek a very special place in the hearts of many local fly fishers.  Brushy’s bass and sunfish key in on insect hatches with amazing regularity. Some days you can almost time the hatch to the minute!  The creek is ever changing, but what remains true always is how enjoyable it is to fish and to guide.
