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!

Nov 4th Holdover is looking to be a real good time!

The 2023 Holdover Tournament will be held on November 4th.  This tournament funds the New Braunfels Fly Fishers club for the year.  This enables the club to pay speakers for our monthly meeting, support GRTU Youth Trout Camp with gift bags and other endeavors throughout the year. The catch results are provided to TPWD for their use in determining the health of the fishery.

You will get a prize. Lunch will be provided on float trips. This has always been a great time, and if you are new to the GRTU LAP program, or just new to the river, this is a great way to find the best place’s to fish and learn the river. Our club members like to help you find good spots to fish and advice on fly’s that work different times of the year. So come on out and do some fishing for fun!

You do NOT need to be a club member or a GRTU member to participate.
