REMEMBER: The meeting this month is at the new location at the New Braunfels Library  700 East Common Street in NB!!!!

Once again our club outing Director Ron DeMeyer organized a trip to the GUAD and we met at RIO Rafts at 7:30 am.  Members attending were Ron DeMeyer, Jerry Horton, Phil Lambrecht, Mike Wright, Jeff O’Bara, Gary Nyland and Pat McQuinn.  As You can see by the pictures, it was Ready, Get set, and then go!!  Also a few pictures of fish we caught.  Jeff O’Bara got the big fish of the day with a 20 inch rainbow and I , Mike Wright caught a Brown Bomber(ie Sucker) that was 18 inches!!!  Ha!! Ron caught the most with 3 fish to the net. Small size seemed to be the ticket with size 22 RS-2 and size 18 zebra midge being the go to flys.

Here is the information on my fly fishing for white bass yesterday.

I put in my kayak at the Rebecca Creek road crossing over the Guadalupe and paddled down 1.5 miles to a place where a water falls prevents white bass from going any more upstream.  On google map there is a business icon called Rock Bed Stop at that location.  From there down about the next 600 yards I got white bass takes.  I was really surprised that I had the place to myself for the first 2 hours, then a nice young man from New Braunfels, also fly fishing, showed up.  Of interest–he just graduated from A&M and has an online fly tying business.  I have included a photo of his card as I am trying to get him to help our club with fly tying class.  I had about a dozen hook ups and landed nine white bass, all on small clouser like patterns in black and white and dark red and white.  All fish were males and have not spawned yet so fishing should be good for at least another 10 days and will get even better when the females get there.  With a motor boat one can get to this location coming up stream from the lake. Fish put up a really good fight–a 3 weight rod would be just about ideal for them.  Also had first fillets for supper last night and they eat well.
