We had blue skies, some wind, and wonderful temperatures for our event at Damon’s 7 Lakes. Luckily, the cool front and rain ended Friday night (we had over 3-inches of rain at our home)! Due to all the raining on Friday afternoon and evening, the camping part of the JSSFS event was cancelled.

Friends,
With the rain stopping later in the day than anticipated, I don’t think camping tonight, Friday, would be very comfortable.
Let’s not camp tonight, but enjoy the cooler weather and clearer skies tomorrow, Saturday.
Feel free to text, or email, David or I with questions.
See you in the morning.

I was excited to be going on a fly fishing float trip with the Texas FlyFishers Club (TFF) on the Llano River above Junction, TX. I spent a good bit of time on Tuesday and Wednesday, thinking through, gathering, organizing, and packing for the trip. Part of the fun of any fly fishing trip, for me, is preparing for the trip. I was so excited that I left early Thursday morning and arrived at the campsite around noon—several hours before anyone else arrived. So, I had set up my camp and was resting and soaking in the surrounding as others arrived. That afternoon, I headed down river to the CR 150 crossing to do some wade fishing. I was looking forward to just being in the water, experiencing the push of cool water on my legs, breathing in the fresh air, observing nature, and maybe even catching a few fish. After all, “down at the core of every fisherman’s heart is the belief that on any day something wonderful and unlikely could be made to happen. And that if you’re careful and patient it could happen to you.” (John Gierach) I had a good inaugural outing and caught 15-20 sunfish in a few hours of fishing. I felt my mind clearing, a peace in my soul, and I had a lighter step walking back to camp.

The TFF monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday 28 of April, 2026. Our topic will be on fly fishing for sunfish at Damon 7 Lakes. This may help you in preparation for our annual Sunfish Spectacular. This is our annual fun family fishing event Saturday, 2nd of May 2026, at Damon Seven Lakes.
St. Thomas Presbyterian Church PC(USA), 14100 Memorial Dr, Houston, TX 77079
Fellowship hall, see the map below:
Topics covered include gear for sunfish, our favorite flies, how to fish them, a review of Damon Seven Lakes and the different options to fish.
During the socializing pre-meeting we will have some fly tying going on.
Howard is also planning to bring books from storage in an attempt to re-home them.
Because of the noise issues we have had in the last 2 locations we tried, we have a NEW MONTHLY MEETING LOCATION, DATE, and TIME FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE starting with the April 28th, 2026 monthly meeting. The new details are:
Date: Last Tues of each month
Time: 6-9pm (6-7: Social hour; 7-9 Meeting)
Location: St. Thomas Presbyterian Church, 14100 Memorial Dr. Houston, TX 77079 Google maps
Social Hour: 6-7 pm
We will have a “social hour” from 6-7. Time to reconnect with friends, tell stories about life, fishing, etc. WE also plan to have some of our local fly tiers on hand demonstrating some tips and tricks.
Meeting Start Time: 7-9 pm
The meeting will begin promptly at 7pm and run no later than 9pm (most likely 830pm). The format will remain the same. Meeting will start with introduction of new attendees, reports outs from the various chairs (outings, finance, membership, etc), then the guest speaker.
We will continue to announce the monthly speakers with “posts” prior to the meeting.
Look forward to seeing you there.
A long Weekend outing at my favorite fishing town and Hot spots.
I have rented a house on the back side POC 1509 Polks ave. It has room for 5
Port O’Conner I will head down Thursday and come back Sunday. LOTS OF ROOM TO PARK Truck & boat – 10 min POC fishing center
I am going to rent a house for 3 nights – Has 3 queens and two singles, FIRST COME on beds – price per head $150/head RAIN or SHINE
Included 3 nights – 3 cold breakfasts and 3 dinner- No drinks or lunch’s
I also will look for a central rendezvous spot for lunch.
Fishing is a lot of fun and a Million places to fish and best of all CLEAR water!!
Some of our group had to cancel, opening up these prime spots.
We need folks to sign up early. The headcount is needed to buy the correct amount of food and make sure that we have enough volunteers to make a successful event.
Also by signing up early you save $10. ($20 for early sign-up, $30 for show up).
Online registration closes at midnight on Wednesday, April 29th. We like early online registrations to give David a better count of attendees; he can more accurately purchase the correct amount food for our lunch. (It takes two days to thaw the hamburger patties and a thawed hamburger cooks quicker. So the food will be purchased on April 29th.)
