This is THE family friendly event of the year!

The trip report is written and available for viewing. See this link.

Trip Description:  

Join us for our 22nd annual fun family fishing event and lunch on Saturday, May 10th, at Damon’s Seven Lakes (D7L). If you want to camp you may come after 3 pm on Friday, May 9th. Fishing is mostly from the shore, but kickboat, canoe, and/or kayaking are quite successful. Members are encouraged to bring guests. These guests are how we spread the word, and it is always good to have friends on the water. To learn more about how the Texas Flyfishers of Houston (TFF) Club’s John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular (JSSFS) event came about, please click this link for a video of Puck giving the explanation.

Further JSSFS event descriptions, volunteering, and online registration for this event is only possible after you log in to this TFF webpage. Registering online on or before May 7th is requested so Trip Leader can purchase sufficient food and drinks for all attendees. Please fill out all form spaces as this will facilitate quicker registration for you at the event. Be sure to bring your completed waivers to the event…there are two forms to bring per person, see links below.

About the D7L Area:

“Damon’s Seven Lakes is a beautiful one-of-a-kind private fishing club located near Damon, Texas just west of Highway 36 between Rosenberg and West Columbia. Contrary to the name there are now nine different, unique lakes of decent size but only eight lakes are open (Goose Lake is closed). The lakes hold Large-mouth Bass (LMB), Tiger Bass (a LMB variety), Catfish, Black Crappie, Bluegill and others. Catching bass in the three-to-five-pound range is a normal occurrence. Twelve-pound bass, large channel cats and twelve-inch bream have been caught in previous years.”

Owner and manager, Matt A., does a terrific job preparing the D7L property before the event (e.g., mowing the grass). Please thank him for the opportunity to fish on his property and all the work he did getting it ready for our event. TFF members can help Matt with some of the work by volunteering 2 to 4 hours of their time with the clean up on May 3rd by bringing their tools and clean up the shorelines and the gathering areas. You will need to bring your own tools, saws, clippers, weed whackers, work gloves etc. For more information and to sign up, please click this TFF website.
