The trout feeding team reported good numbers of trout to number 5 but water temperatures are increasing.

Summary of Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting
04/27/2022 – New Braunfels Public Library
Ron DeMeyer called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm.
Gary Nyland said we still have no location for fly tying and that typically they discontinued meeting in the summer but would like to find a location to start next fall.
Pat McQuinn, Membership Director, reported that we have 35 current members.
Pat also said that a number of members need to renew their FFI membership as they are overdue. He will send out email to those members asking them to renew.
Ron reviewed the April outing to GRTU lease site #5. Many caught fish and the hamburgers at the Horseshoe Grill were great. Ron will try to plan another outing on the Guadalupe in the near future. A number of members were interested in another trip to the Llano to fish for bass and sunfish. Maybe Dan can put something together again.
Ron and Pat McQuinn reviewed the fish feeding project for the group. Pat said we have members scheduled through the middle of June for feeding. The volunteers are paired up to make the job a bit easier. Additional scheduling will happen later. Ron said the fish food is coming from New Braunfels Feed and that after a couple of glitches we might have a steady supply. The initial delivery of 10 bags will last about 3-4 weeks.
The annual election was held with no nominations from the floor. A slate of
candidates made up of the current board was nominated and unanimously
elected. Dan Cone, President; Chris Jackson, Vice President; Brien John, Treasurer and Ron DeMeyer, Secretary.
Alex Herrera, guide, Living Waters Fly Fishing, did a wonderful job with his subject of “Fly Fishing for Bass in the Texas Hill Country”. He explained his tactics, equipment used and water characteristics for a number of local rivers for not only bass but the other warm water fish.
