NBFF Fly Tying Nite this Thursday, May 4th
Come join us this coming Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South Interstate 35 Frontage Road in New Braunfels. This month we will be tying the Gridle Bug and Pat’s Rubber Legs flies, both are great trout flies on the Guad and other streams. The club will supply the needed materials for tying. We also have some Club tying equipment available, if you have none, or you can bring your own. Tie a few for yourself and a few for the Club raffle that we hold at our monthly Club meetings. Hope to see you there.

Smithermans Fry Candy
When I asked Josh to describe the Fry Candy, his response was simply,
“It’s very good.”
He’s not wrong. Many, if not most, bass streamers are designed with added weight for deep, fast moving water. The Fry Candy on the other hand was specifically designed to imitate the schooling juvenile baitfish found in the upper portion of water columns.
It’s a perfect choice for small or shallow water, like we have here on Brushy Creek and ideal for late-summer bassin’, when the water levels drop.
The short-shank hook creates an articulated-tail effect without the effort and
it’s friendly for casting on lighter weight rods.
Fish it for just about anything with short, quick strips for maximum side-to-side swish.
Simply vary the color scheme to match the baitfish you find wherever you’re angling!
