—————————— —————————— —————————— —
Based on last year’s experience: Let’s start around noon on Friday at Malaquite and run down to about MM 40+ fishing, and camp in that area.
Low tides are at (need to check).
We may be able to get by Big Shell by taking the high road.
A quick run to the jetties Saturday morning, move back to a camp spot between the 40 and 30 mile marker and then the next day, Sunday, fish on the way back.
Shower at Malaquite (if they are open), load for the return about 1400 and drive home. More to follow.
Best regards,
Texas Hill Country Fly Fishers
Great trip on the Devils River
Holdover Tournament 2020 Results
The weather was great for the “Holdover Tournament” on November 7th but the trout didn’t cooperate. Sunfish numbers won the day with a redhorse sucker taking “big fish”. The New Braunfels Fly Fishers would like to thank the 12+ contestants for their participation and support. Some are pictured below:
The club would also like to thank the local fly shops and outfitters for their donation of prizes: Living Water Fly Shop, Castell Guide Service, Gruene Outfitters, Action Angler & Outdoor Center, and the estate of Mike Wright.
Also, we appreciate the guides who donated their time, equipment and expertise. These include Chris Jackson, Grace Dauzat and Dane Cone.
Everyone had a great time!
Hopefully, you can join us next year!
