2023 HOLDOVER TOURNAMENT

The 25+ participants of the New Braunfels Fly Fisher’s “Holdover Tournament” had a warm, sunny day to exercise their fly fishing craft.  The fish were also receiptive with a number of trout, a multitude of sunfish with a few smallmouth bass thrown in the mix.  The largest trout measured 21 inches.

Living Waters to Sponsor Iron Fly Competition

Living Waters is excited to sponsor the inaugural Honey Hole Angling Iron Fly Competition this coming Saturday in New Braunfels! We’ll be providing materials, and Chris will be presiding as judge over the competition.
Proceeds from the event benefit Reel Recovery, a national non-profit that conducts free fly fishing retreats for men battling with all forms of cancer in an effort to introduce them to the healing powers of the sport of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment to explore their personal experiences of cancer with others who share their stories. Reel Recovery provides cancer information and resources to enable better management of their disease and new skills to bring joy, enthusiasm and renewed hope as participants confront the challenges of their cancer survivorship.
Registration for the Honey Hole Iron Fly is required for competitors only. Bystanders, hecklers, and back-seat-tyers are all welcome free of charge. Come out to enjoy food and drinks, live music, a silent auction and raffles, some friendly competition, and more!
