The South Llano Trip is just over the horizon. We have only a small number of members signed up at this time. The Club has to pay for 2 cabins for 3 nights regardless of how many people come and stay. If married couples come, our host Nol, has offered us (couples) an additional place to stay. This annual Club trip is one of the few opportunities to get out to the Hill Country and to fish one of the most productive rivers in the State. 2023 year’s event was cancelled due to weather, so please consider making your plans ASAP.

Registration is now open via the link in the post listed below. There are 5 categories of lodging, and we would ask that you indicate which one you will use. Cabin space is limited. If you need cabin space then reserve a spot, and we will collect your deposit, locking your spot.

Bon Ton Roulet Cabins, 171 KC 150, Junction, Texas, 76849 

Limited to 7 spots in the cabins.  Deposit for lodging locks the spot.  
Tent camping is still available, and encouraged.

Trip Description:  See below…

Day 1: The first meeting of the trip will be at: Bon Ton Roulet Cabins, 171 KC 150, Junction, Texas, 76849 

We’ll meet at this area getting our casting skills honed, and practicing with various flies.  Potluck at the grill for dinner at our camp. Please bring some type of food item to contribute to the Friday night meal.

Day 2:  Launch from second crossing US-377 down to KC150.  This is just a little over 3 miles of water, and is very easy to get a lot of good fishing in.
Start:  30.362156, -99.889391  End:  30.393194,-99.88180

Livery will be a DIY again this year. Pot luck dinner Saturday night. Again, please bring a food item to contribute to the meal.

Day 3: First crossing bridge where the river crosses US 377. We will fish downstream to the second crossing. Or we could retrace our steps from day 2.
