Rio Grande Cichlid Tournament for this Saturday is canceled
Our Rio Grande Cichlid Tournament for this Saturday is canceled due to storm and water conditions. Brushy Creek is currently running over 1000 CFS east of downtown and continuing to rise rapidly.
In place of the tournament, Chris will give a presentation on What to Know Before You Go: Analyzing Weather & Water Data. You’ll learn how to read hydrometric and atmospheric charts and how to use them to your advantage when planning your fly fishing outing. He’ll show you how to interpret weather and water data to adjust for fronts, floods, and droughts. This class will be chock full of valuable, real-time information you won’t want to miss!

Cari Ray
Cari presented a very informative presentation last night at the New Braunfels Fly Fishing Club meeting. I learned a number of things, and enjoyed her presentation very much. If someone can teach me something, (I am slow) then they not only know their stuff, but they can present it in a way that even I could understand. This is worth your time. Also, here’s a link to a blog article with more detail about the topics we covered regarding Guadalupe River Trout Fishing. https://fisherofzen.com/2023/01/07/in-it-to-zen-it/
Essential river casts
This episode of the Far Bank Fly Fishing School series focuses on a selection of essential casts that all river anglers should know. Some of the casts in this episode allow anglers to fish in situations that they wouldn’t normally be able to do so knowing only the overhead cast, while other casts create better ways to present the fly to the fish and increase the odds of getting it to eat. Whether you’re a first-time river fly fisher, someone who has fished rivers in the past but wants to up their game, or you just want to learn some really cool, highly useful casts this episode is for you. In this episode Far Bank head fly fishing instructor Simon Gawesworth, explains and demonstrates how to learn and master the roll cast, the side cast, the reach cast, the aerial mend, and shows a number of ways to make a slack line cast – all casts that will help you greatly increase your success on the water.
Rio Grande Cichlid Population Assessment Tournament
Living Waters Fly Fishing
We had such great feedback and participation from our June Guadalupe Bass Tournament that we’ve decided to repeat the concept, this time recording data for Rio Grande Cichlids!
Join us next weekend for a Rio Grande Cichlid Population Assessment Tournament (say that five times fast!). The purpose of which is to gather information for Texas Parks and Wildlife regarding the population density of RGCs in certain reaches of Brushy Creek and to have some fun, friendly competition while we we do it!
The tournament is open to the public, all ages can compete, and there is NO ENTRY FEE! However, registration is required.
