Phil Lambrecht was our guest speaker.  Phil presented knot tying with the assistance of Tom Williams who provided the audio/visual to project Phil’s knot tying up on the big screen.  Phil reviewed many of the knots that are used in fly fishing.  Phil demonstrated tying four of the primary knots.  The uni knot, perfection loop, davey knot and drop loop knot.  Phil emphasized that every fly fisherman should know how to tie the uni knot and perfection loop.  All of the attendees also participated by tying the four knots Phil demonstrated.  For further assistance all of these knots are demonstrated on youtube.

The update from the Director’s was not presented to allow more time for knot tying.

Club Picnic

Club Picnic

May 30, 2026

New Braunfels Fly Fishers celebrated the 2026 summer season with a family picnic.  The picnic was held at the pavilion in River Chase.  Approximately 35 club members and their families attended.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, cookies, homemade brownies and watermelon were served.  It was a traditional summer picnic.

Phil Lambrecht conducted a fly casting competition.  There were 13 participants.  Phil won the tournament with Bob Blair coming in second.  1st and 2nd place finishers each won a fly box for their fine casting abilities.

There was also cornhole bean bags being tossed which was fun for all.

Below are a few photos including the two prize winners.
