Understanding Reel Drag

Fly Reel Drags: Which Reel is Right For You?
Selecting the right fly reel drag system is essential for maximizing your time on the water.

Thursday April 3rd NBFF fly-tying session

This Thursday (April 3rd) will be our next NBFF fly-tying session.  We will meet from 6-8:00 pm at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South IH-35 Frontage Road in New Braunfels.  This month we will be tying the Sparkle Dun.  It has been reported by Jerry Horton that he caught some trout by switching to a dry fly so this will be a good fly to tie and try.  It can be used alone or can be used as a dry dropper fly combination.
We will begin promptly at 6:00 with short skills “You Tube” video and then a video explaining tying the Sparkle Dun.  The club will supply the needed tying materials.  If you have your own tying tools please bring then, but the club has several sets if you are new and need them.
Hope to see you there,
Gary

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FLY SHOP CLOSING

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FLY SHOP CLOSING
To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!

After 24 years of serving the community with our fly fishing store front, we’ve decided to close our doors. This was a hard decision, but necessary to reduce the demands of ownership and focus primarily on the guiding side of the business. Our seasonal fly fishing access will remain in place as long as the guests comply with our requirements.

It’s a good time to reserve your dates for spring in Texas. We’ll be targeting trout through April, and bass March through May.
