On Friday the 16th of November, 2018, Jerry Horton and Phil Lambrecht went to the Salt and had some luck with red fish. Jerry Horton with slot red he caught in a secret place with a secret fly. I’m sure he will let us know what and where in the meeting this month. Be there for the info on the Red.
We have to say that the new facilities at the American Legion Hall in New Braunfels worked perfectly for fly tying. Tables and chairs were available and plenty of room for setting up vises and tools. There were 5 Tyers that showed up for this first session and it went great. The next session will be in December on the second Tuesday of the month. Please feel free to join the group for tying and fish stories. Those members present were, Jeff O’bara, Gary Nyland, Phil Lambrecht, Carl Druebert and Mike Engelhardt
We want to thank the Walton F Hoffman Memorial Post 410 for their support in providing us with the room for our meetings, and encourage any one eligible to join the Post to join.
Jeff O’bara and Gary Nyland: Fly Tying committee leaders
We had to change the place we used for fly tying to the American Legion hall in New Braunfels. The address is 410 west Coll street, NB, TX, 78130. This will be the introductory meeting for the new location and we will be displaying our tools and supplies for tying plus tying flys as needed for the upcoming trout season. Please go to the rear of the building to enter and ask for where the fly tying is being held. We hope to see you all at the new location.

The 2018 Holdover Tournament is now over and the results are in. It was an absolutely gorgeous day on the Guadalupe River. Flows were high, but boats only got fishers wet a few times going over Horseshoe Falls and other rapids. No waders were allowed to sign up due to the flows. However, the results will answer the questions of Holdover numbers for Nov 3 2018
You need to solve this riddle to determine how many fish were caught in the Holdover::: The second place boat got ½ and many fish as the first place boat. The third place boat got 1/4 as many fish and the second place boat. The fourth place boat got ⅛ as many fish as the third place boat.
How many fish did each boat get????????????????? Answer at the bottom of the Pictures.
We want to thank our many sponsors to include, Action Anglers— ½ day Float trip on the Guadalupe, Trouthunter tippet, Montana Fly company fly box ::: Living Waters—Fishpond Rod Case, hat and stickers::: Echo rods, —:::Umpqua—Back Pack, Patagonia gloves, Montana Fly Company fly box, t-shirt, hat:::Gruene Outfitters—::: Lake Austin Ales— iced tea:::Water Works Lamson and Temple Fork for their continued support of our tournament.
ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE: ZERO FISH WERE CAUGHT BY ALL BOATS!!!!!!!
We all got SKUNKED, but had a great time in the beautiful weather! We held a drawing for the prizes. Hope to see you all next year when the water is slower and more fishable. 2017 was a great year and we hope next year, 2019 is as good as or better than 2017.
Tight lines and safe fishing
