Hello fellow Texas Council Members and Friends.
This letter finds you reading a report from me, Rick Haness, Texas Council FFF, First Vice President, Membership Vice President, and a few other titles we do not need to mention (until later). Andy Payne our President asked me to write to you because I have some things, I would like for you to consider.
We are in the beginning of a VERY hot and humid summer; this weather condition will have an impact on all of us in some form of fashion. I for one will take the “hot” part of the beginning as a positive. We can look forward to the rebeginning of our momentum to energize the “Texas Council of FFI’s” initiative to educate and help our clubs, club members and “unclubbed” members to its programs available to us all. Our Council board members are committed in assisting everyone to discover and take advantage of Fly Fishers International’s Casting, Fly Tying and Learning center programs.
I really do not have to remind you that our Council Board members have specific responsibilities to help us all. I want to assure you all that all our board members have volunteered to fill these positions to help our members, our clubs and further the goals of Fly Fishers International. If you have any questions, problems or suggestions please let us know, we want to help. (Read More)

NBFF Club Casting Clinic and Meeting
We had a very informative and productive casting clinic.
Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting
06/26/2021 – River Acres Park
Ron called the meeting to order at 9:30 am.
A short meeting was held after the casting clinic directed by Phil. Fourteen members and one guest attended. Phil did a great job of helping attendees improve their casting skills. One comment overheard was “it is good to see the club using internal talent to improve our skills”.
There was no Treasurer’s report.
Pat and Phil volunteered to help Dan Cone with the trout feeding program. Pat will contact Dan for guidance on how to proceed. Other members also volunteered to assist.
Gary informed the group that he would like to start fly tying night again in the fall if we could find a place to have it. Two possibilities are the hospitality room at the Summit or a room at Rio Terra Senior Living in New Braunfels.
Pat also volunteered to coordinate the meetings during July and August. Possible locations were the Summit, if available, or the River Acres Park and make it a fishing opportunity.
Speakers for the fall were discussed, more will be posted.
Some in the group would like to have another saltwater trip like we had with William Townsend of Light and Fly Guide Service.
The meeting was adjourned.
