Fishing Overview
USGS streamgage FRIO RV AT CONCAN, TX (08195000). Coordinates are the USGS monitoring-location point. App-supported continuous parameters currently available: water temperature (00010), streamflow (00060), and gage height (00065). This destination is the named Concan / Garner State Park freshwater Hill Country reach only. It is not the lower Frio near Derby or Tilden, not the Nueces, and not a seasonal trout fishery.

Fishery overview
Hill Country Frio River freshwater corridor at the Concan USGS gage, including the Garner State Park public fishery. USGS 08195000 provides live water temperature, streamflow, and stage. Catalog scoring uses generic-fishing. Guadalupe bass is the TPWD state-fish target on this reach but is not a separate StrikeTracks species ID, so largemouth bass is the catalog black-bass species. This record does not represent the lower Frio or invent Texas CFS bands.
