NBFF upcoming meeting

Folks,

Our next club meeting is this Wednesday, October 23rd.  We will be back at the main public library on E. Commons.  6:00 – 8:00.
Our guest speaker will be Jud Cole.  His topic will be fishing the Guadalupe River.
Hope to see you there!
And, do not forget the holdover tournament is coming up, it is a fun time.
It is our only fundraiser, so, please come out in support of the club.
You do not have to be a “member” of the club, and it is a great way to find out the best locations to fish.

Fly Tying Bobbins

When I was in the shop, I got lots of questions about tools, and bobbins probably the most, since you will very likely need one on every fly you tie.

NBFF Fly Tying Thursday October 3rd

I hope you all had a good summer vacation season with some exciting Fly-Fishing adventures.  We are nearing the 2024/25 Guad trout season in just a few short months and so we will be starting our NBFF Fly Tying sessions this coming Thursday October 3rd form 6-8 pm at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South IH 35 Frontage Road, New Braunfels.
This month we will start with a fly that we haven’t tied in a while “The Copper John”.  This fly has proven successful for Rainbows on the Guadalupe, and I personally can vouch for that.  The club will supply the needed materials for tying and if you’re new to tying we also have several tool setups that you can use.  If you have your own, please feel free to bring them.  Come out and practice your tying skills and tie a few for yourself and tie a few for our Club monthly fly raffle.  We will start promptly at 6:00.
Hope to see you there,
Gary
