Summarized Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting
12/08/2021 – New Braunfels Public Library
Dan Cone called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm.
Pat McQuinn said we have 32 current members.
Ron reminded the members of the trip to the Llano River to fish for state stocked fish on December 9th.
Ron reviewed the progress made on the GRTU Youth Camp participant’s bag of fly fishing equipment. John Schlobohm, Chris Jackson and Ron selected fly boxes, zingers, nippers and forceps and Chris ordered these and they have been delivered. The zingers and fly boxes were ordered with the NBFF logo. Chris has asked Umpqua to donate the leaders and tippet. The cloth bags have been ordered. Jeff O’Bara suggested Ron ask the members for fly donations, either through cleaning out their boxes or tying, to put in the boxes. The team thought that since the majority of these young people will typically be fishing non-trout waters that woolly buggers and poppers should be included in the mix.
Ron reported that the club’s application for a booth at 2022 GRTU Troutfest has been sent and the Troutfest committee has acknowledged its receipt.
Our speaker for the evening was Chris Johnson, Living Waters Fly Fishing. His subject was “Fly Fishing the Guadalupe River”. Chris’ presentation covered not only trout fishing but all the other wildlife and beauty one sees on the river while fishing. He is knowledgeable and entertaining. Chris also donated $175 worth of tippet, leaders and forceps to the club.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm.
