ANNOUNCEMENT OF FLY SHOP CLOSING

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FLY SHOP CLOSING
To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!

After 24 years of serving the community with our fly fishing store front, we’ve decided to close our doors. This was a hard decision, but necessary to reduce the demands of ownership and focus primarily on the guiding side of the business. Our seasonal fly fishing access will remain in place as long as the guests comply with our requirements.

It’s a good time to reserve your dates for spring in Texas. We’ll be targeting trout through April, and bass March through May.

NBFF at Troutfest TX 2025

 

NBFF AT TROUTFEST  TX 2025

We put up our canopy for our booth on a cold Thursday, February 20th, getting a great spot at L&L Campground for the festivities.  We returned on Saturday morning to a canopy covered in ice and a very cold day.  The rest of Saturday remained cold and dreary but turnout for Troutfest was exceptional and we entertained a lot of visitors with information about our club.  Our members tried to stay warm with both wood and propane fires.

Our raffle winner on Saturday was Gene Battaglia from Laurel Hills, Florida.  Gene won an Echo Ion reel and had traveled from Florida just to attend Troutfest.  He said he was looking forward to catching a lot of fish on the reel.

Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day with a lot of visitors enjoying Troutfest TX 2025 and the great weather.  Once again, we had a lot of visitors to our booth and hopefully the club will gain some new members. 

Our raffle winner for Sunday was a young lady from Alaska.  She won a fly box with 20 flies that were proven patterns for the Guadalupe River.

Reminder, our next club meeting will be this coming Wednesday, February 19th from 6-8:00.  The meeting will be at the main public library in New Braunfels on E. Commons.

December 2024 Fly Fishing Report

December 2024 Fly Fishing Report

To all who’ve recently subscribed to our newsletter: Thank you for joining!

Winter is here! The temperatures have dropped and it’s a great time to get outdoors.

It’s a good time to reserve your dates for winter and spring in Texas. We’ll be targeting trout through April, and bass March through May. Check out http://actionangler.net/ to book a trip, buy some gear or gift certificate, or get up to speed on the latest river info.

RIVER CONDITIONS

The water temperatures on the Guadalupe are in the 60s. The flows on the Guadalupe below Canyon Lake are 65 CFS. There have been 4 trout stockings so far, and more on the way. Trout sizes stocked this season are anywhere from 8 inches to 27 inches. The GRTU feeding program has helped a good number of trout to survive the summer, and the best way to know if you have a holdover is by the color and fin development. The Canyon Lake level is 20 feet low and flows could reduce more if rainfall doesn’t increase. We recommend visiting http://www.grtu.org/flow/ to stay informed of the lake level and dam release. The trout have been biting on various worm, egg, nymphs, and emerger patterns. Some streamers have also been successful.

Please contact us if you want to experience some great Colorado or Hill Country fly fishing. Guided trips and gift certificates can be purchased online at http://actionangler.net/ by clicking the “BOOK NOW” button.

FLY SHOP and RIVER ACCESS

The Action Angler fly shop and river access is open 7 days a week. Purchases can be made through our website at any time of the year. We have added 2 more ways to pay for river access. Look for the orange sign at the trail head with payment options through Zelle, and Venmo.

I’d like to fill you in on the most recent news in the Texas Hill Country and west/central Colorado.

NEWS AND UPDATES

  1. Action Angler is a booking agent and guide for 1, 2, and 3 day float trips on the Gunnison River through the Gunnison Gorge and lower Gunnison River. This allows us to hold preferred dates for our clients. The Gunnison Gorge is thought of by many as a Top 20 Destination To See Before You Die, and also referred to as a mini-Grand Canyon. The lower Gunnison River is an easier-paced section, with day trips starting at $700. Please contact us for details.

  2. If you are planning to be in the Aspen or Glenwood Springs areas in the summertime or early fall, call Aspen Fly Fishing and/or Crystal Fly Shop to book trips. Be sure to request Chris Jackson as your guide. http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/ http://www.crystalflyshop.com/index.html If you are planning to be in the Crested Butte or Gunnison areas in the summertime or early fall, call Dragonfly Anglers to book trips on the upper Gunnison River and request Chris Jackson as your guide. http://www.dragonflyanglers.com/
