Catch & Release Fishing Guide Service Belton Lake - Stillhouse Hollow Lake
- EXPERIENCED - Guiding professionally for over 20 years on the lakes of Central Texas.
- ACCESSIBLE - No middle men, no booking schemes – call me now to speak in person at 254.368.7411
- FAMILY FRIENDLY - I welcome children and beginners. I run a "Rated G" boat when it comes to language and behavior
- BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - We never wrap up early just because you caught a limit. You are paying for a half day or full day on the water; that's what you will get.
- SONAR INTENSIVE - I am a marine sonar instructor and use only state-of-the-art sonar equipment to enhance your experience.
- COACHING STYLE - I take a "crawl, walk, run" approach to the tactics I will have you using no matter where your starting point is.
- IN TOUCH - I fish 180-220 trips per year, so I am on the water multiple times every week staying in touch with fish and bait locations.
Here is my latest “just-off-the-water” report …
Took A Vet Fishing – 113 Fish (2 Vouchers Still Available!)
CLIENTS
This morning, Veterans’ Day 2025, I ran a Veterans’ Day special reducing my normal fare by $95 dollars for any group that included a U.S. military veteran.
Taking me up on that offer was Chris Encarnacion who served one enlistment in the U.S. Army as a generator mechanic assigned to a combat engineer battalion.
Chris is originally from New York City (Manhattan), but now lives in Killeen and runs his baseball coaching business, Silverback Performance ( https://www.silverbackperformancetx.com/ ) in Salado. Chris invited his brother, Roberto, and Roberto‘s 13-year-old son, Mariano, to accompany him.

Holding the Line Guide Service offers guided fishing trips in the Salado, Texas region, focusing on Lake Belton, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, and Georgetown Lake. Fish species pursued include white bass (sand bass), hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass (black bass), and panfish. Techniques employed include fly fishing, light tackle spinning and casting, live shad fishing, and downrigging. I cater to visitors to the Village of Salado, as well as those traveling for business or pleasure to Fort Hood, Killeen, Harker Heights, or Temple.
