Minutes of April NBFF Meeting

Meeting was held 04/28/2021 at the Summit Resort Pavilion.

Dan Cone called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm.

The fly raffle netted $47.00.

Brien John couldn’t attend the meeting but emailed Ron DeMeyer that he would be filing the club’s Texas Franchise Taxes this week.

Pat McQuinn, Director of Membership, reported that we had 31 members.

Ron said that the outing on the Guadalupe had five members attend and that a few trout and sunfish were caught.  He also said that it was a cold and windy day.

Rather than a speaker, there was a “Casting Rodeo” consisting of three stations.  John Schlobohm was the winner.  Everyone had a good time participating and it was suggested that we should do this again.

APRIL FLY FISHING REPORT

Spring is here, and the weather has been great to get outdoors. This is the time of the year when we turn our focus to the warm water species on the various Hill Country rivers. The trout fishing is still good on the Guadalupe, and best fished before 11am or after 4pm.

This is the latest we’ve seen the Redhorse Sucker lay their eggs. The winter freeze in February played a big role in the delay. The trout are super charged, and seeking out the eggs. There have also been a number of successful anglers using dry flies. The crowds on the Guadalupe have greatly reduced with the trout moving to new spaces and the various other species to target elsewhere.

We’ve added a new boat to the fleet that provides more room and comfort for our bass and trout trips. Check out the photos on Facebook or Instagram of our new Boulder Boatworks drift boat. April is a great time to book a trip to experience some epic fly fishing.

Thank you for supporting our small business. We hope everyone is safe and healthy during these difficult times. Sincerely,

Chris Jackson Owner/Lead Guide
