At the tail end of February, I found myself back in the hallowed halls of Cabelas and Bass Pro with clients, kitting ourselves out for a Texas adventure. Lets be clear about Texas: everything’s bigger, badder, and that little bit more unpredictable. We arrived to temperatures of 17C, but by the next morning they had dropped to -1C, and on next morning as we set out to fish, they had sunk to -3C and it was blowing a force 7 to 8. On a lake back home, that might mean waves of a couple of feet. On Lake Texoma’s 89,000 acres, that translates to waves over 5ft. The Americans admired our British fortitude and stamina, admitting if we had been local, they would have stayed in bed.

We joined fishing guide JD Lyle, who had already been out on the water catching our bait when we arrived lakeside at 7am.
