I plan to make the trip. Anybody else?
FFI Texas Multi-Club Outing April 21, 2018
Please RSVP to president@texascouncilffi.com so they will know how many burgers and hot dogs to bring. Also note how many tent or RV sites needed so we can let the land owner know.
Guided fly fishing trips on Texas hill country rivers and coastal flats, bonefishing in the Bahamas, world class tarpon fishing in Costa Rica and Belize await the successful bidder this year at the Texas Flyfishers Annual Auction in Houston.
Add dry fly fishing trips to blue ribbon trout streams in Montana and Colorado and there’s a new adventure waiting for even the most well-traveled angler this year. The Cinco de Bayou edition of the annual event will be held May 5, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bayou Sports Bar and Grill, 6011 Addicks Satsuma Road.
Newcomers to fly fishing as well as fishing enthusiasts of all persuasions – fly, spin and plug – are welcome to join this celebration of Houston’s fly fishing fraternity. It is an opportunity to pick up some tackle and tips to use this season and, in the process, perhaps line up a fishing trip of a lifetime.
Launch from Charlie’s Bait camp, 4194 Lane Rd, Seadrift, TX 77983
Boats and kayaks can easily fish the area.
Meet at the launch 30 minutes after sunrise to allow the vampires to go to bed. About 0715.
Campers showed up at 1430 on Friday afternoon. The weather was decent and fish were caught. 5 campers decided to brave the weather.
Grill was started about 1730, and dinner was a combination of deer chili, cheese with crackers, jambalaya, baked potatoes with dressings, bratwurst, chased with red wine.
We still have no saltwater trip planned for May. May 2018 Saltwater outing
So far I have nothing ready, or even a leader to step forward.
This is an opportunity to share your knowledge and get friends on the water.
Went to Damon 7 Lakes with Steve for a chance to check out the waters before the event: John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular, 2018
We were on the water at 0800 with the wind strongly out of north. The surface water temperature was in the 70s, and the clarity was amazing. The bluegill were staging just of the weedline, and hungry. The LMB were focused on food, and the day went well.
Over 50 fish came to hand with almost all of them hitting topwater flies.
One LMB went over 3, and one of the ‘gills was over 8″
Still watching the weather to see if I want to bring rain-gear for the Friday camping.
If you missed this great fly tying session and presentation, I’ve attempted to capture some of it: Speakers, Monthly Meeting, March 27, 2018 Terry and Roxanne Wilson; Fly Fishing for Bass and Blue Gill

The theme for March 25th was “Topwaters.””
Please bring your auction donations to the Texas FlyFishers’ meeting tomorrow night. If this is not possible, call Skip at 713-822-OO69 and he will arrange for a pick-up.
Join the Texas Council and the Fort Worth Fly Fishers for a fun filled day on the Brazos River below Lake Whitney. The outing will take place at Spivey Crossing RV Park on Saturday, April 21, 2018. Many of us will be there on Friday and stay until Sunday. There are 14 RV sites there with water and electric hookups as well as an unlimited number of tent sites. The access to the river is very friendly and can be waded or you can fish from a kayak or canoe.
