FUNFISH UPDATE
We have been watching the recent rains and future forecast hopefully. Unfortunately, with the current lake levels, we have made the decision to cancel FUNFISH 2024 at Canyon Park as there is not a cove that allows us to net off a large, fishable area and ensure that the kids would have safe lakefront access to enjoy the fishing.
In place of the event, we plan to open Canyon Park for the weekend of February 24-25 for free public access to bring the family out and enjoy the facilities, recreate, and fish for free. More details will be coming out in the next few weeks. We are sad that FUNFISH will not happen this year but are super hopeful that we will be back next year for an even bigger and better event.

The New Braunfels Fly Fishers provided the GRTU Trout Youth Camp participants a gift bag of fly fishing accessories for the third year. The bag’s contents included forceps, nippers, zingers, tippet, leader, a fly box and an assortment of flies. The majority of the flies were tied by individual members and the New Braunfels Fly Fishers fly tying group. Special thanks to Umpqua for providing the tippet and leaders and Action Angler for facilitating the purchase of the other items.
