Half day trips perfect if you are limited on time or have kids joining. Full day trips are double the fishing time and really give us the chance to cover way more of the lake and break down patterns to locate and catch more fish. If you are booking a Coaching Trip I highly recommend a full day trip. During the hot summer months AM trips are my most popular. Generally speaking the most consistent bite is early in the morning. However, during the rest of the year it is very common to get on a great afternoon bite when the fish prefer the warmer water. When planning your trip please don't hesitate to reach out and ask for my recommendation. My priority is putting you on fish and making sure you have a great time! If you have flexibility with your schedule, I want to get you out on the water when and where I think the fishing will be best. If you are

I also have an alternative pick up location at Rough Hollow Yacht Club, located at 105 Yacht Club Cove, Lakeway, TX 78734.  There is an additional $25 charge to be picked up from here. 

​

I also offer pick-ups from private docks and marinas that are located between Mile Markers 11-37. There is an additional $50 charge for pick-ups

(If you are unfamiliar with the mile markers on Lake Travis this map will show you where they are. You are also more than welcome to contact me with the address where you are located and I'll gladly let you know if you are located within the area I offer pick-ups. To be clear, meeting at my normal pick-up location at Cody Park does not cost anything extra, you only incur an additional charge if you wish to be picked up elsewhere. This covers my additional time and fuel burnt to get there. )

What Is Included in Your Trip

When you book a trip with Torwick's Guiding Service I promise to provide you with clear and concise communication leading up to your trip, as well as everything you'll need the day of, for a successful day on the water. All your rods, reels, tackle, bottled water on ice, etc. is included in the price of the trip. The only thing you must bring that I am unable to provide is your fishing license. Catch and release is highly encourage, however clients are welcome to keep their catch provided they meets legal limits and size minimums. Please note I do NOT offer fish filleting services. Everything you need for a fun day on the water is provided, however there are a couple items I recommend bringing: a hat, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen (NO aerosol or spray sunscreen please), a camera, snacks, and weather appropriate clothing depending on the time of year we'll be fishing.
