December Fly Tying session
This coming Thursday (Dec. 7th) from 6-8 pm, we will have our December Fly Tying session at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South IH 35 Frontage Road in New Braunfels. This month we will be tying some flies to donate to the participants of the GRTU Youth Trout Camp. We will be tying a fly called a Brassie. This fly is somewhat similar to a Copper John fly, but a little faster and simpler to tie. I have chosen this fly because we would need to tie about 30 of them if possible. So, come on out and learn to tie this fly and practice your skills. The club will supply the needed materials for tying. If you have none, we have also several sets of flying tying equipment, but you are welcome to bring your own if possible.
Hope to see you there,
Gary

FLY FISHING THE GUADALUPE RIVER
FLY FISHING THE GUADALUPE RIVER
10:00 A.M., Saturday, December 2nd at Living Waters
The Guadalupe River is Texas’ only year-round trout fishery and is ranked as one of the top 100 trout streams in the United States. While at times it fishes very similarly to western tailwaters, the Guadalupe would not be truly Texan if it weren’t just a little different.
In this class, Living Waters’ owner and guide Chris Johnson will share the best practices for effectively targeting Guadalupe River rainbows. He’ll cover fly selection, reading the water, entomology, perfecting your presentation, adjusting for flow rates, river etiquette, and more! Come early, grab a seat and a Round Rock Donut, and settle in for your comprehensive Texas tailwater training!
