Made a trip to a friend’s farm and had a chance to play around in his three small ponds. Lots of shore casting on a cloudy, rainy day. Went thru a lot of flies till I found a couple that worked….reverted back to the trusty #12 yellow spider, #6 diving frog, and a # 10 crawfish pattern. Lots of fun, and managed to pull a 22″, 6lb bass with the crawfish pattern, using my 1 wt fly rod built at the TFF rod building class.
This was shared by one of our members.
My biggest take-away from this is to never go alone.
Take a look and see what you learn from these 2 events.
Last night I was on-line with the Project Healing waters folks in Conroe, and we didn’t capture the video, so I was asked to generate one with the subject matter. I was able to make and upload 5 short videos this morning. Let me know what you think. “Puck”
Limited to 8 spots in the cabins. Deposit for lodging locks the spot.
Tent camping is still available, and encouraged.
I don’t plan to send the E-vite out, but it is active. Please use it, as it makes it easier for me to keep a headcount. See below to reserve your spot in a cabin. River conditions need to be checked a few days before the event.
Start Time: Friday afternoon 1500
End Time: Sunday at noon, or as close to it as we can get.

Picture heavy, with little text.
Quite a few of us made it for the trip.
The winds were easy, but the waves were horrendous. Standing in ankle deep water and getting hit in the chest makes fly fishing difficult.
The water was so high the night before that folks, not our group, were forced to camp near the dumpsters, off the beach. That high water made ruts, with the undertow, on the beach that just hurt going over. Slow moving in the dark, and not much faster after the sun rose.

At the Tuesday, January 26, 2021 monthly meeting of the Texas Fly Fishers (to be held via Zoom technology) Jeff Liskay will be speaking to us from Ohio about fly fishing for steelhead.
Jeff is a highly respected guide throughout the world, is one of the founders of the Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders club and is owner and operator of Great Lakes Fly Fishing. According to many, including some of our club members, Jeff is considered to be the absolute go to guy for steelhead fishing in that region.
So, if you are interested in fly fishing for steelhead or are just interested in learning more about fly fishing in any respect, you will not want to miss this presentation. Be sure and look for your e mail from club Secretary, Eric Richardson or Membership Chairman, Bob Brill with details about joining the zoom meeting.
