Freshwater Outing announcements and discussions pertaining to the planning and preparation of outings. Look to the Freshwater Forum for trip reports etc.
TRIP REPORT: A great day at Blue Roan Bend. Fifteen kayakers and float tubers made it out to the 280 acre lake. We were met by our host, Newell Atkinson, and he gave us a history of the area and a perspective of the lake. Quite the Texas history surrounding this property and area - an incredibly nice ranch. See the TFF post for details.
May 20-22 South Llano:
Our annual South Llano weekend was a great trip. We fished both Friday and Saturday, and the fishing was outstanding. Granted it was a little hot, but the cool water and hot fishing made it worth the trip. We will do it again next year!!! Details below on the full post
July 16: Blue Roan Bend Outfitters have graciously offered TFF members a free day trip to a 280 acre private lake. The lake is full of a wide variety of fish, including bass, panfish, catfish, etc. It has a concrete boat ramp which will make an easy launch for your kayak or canoe. Bank fishing is possible, but will be much less productive. Here is the link to the Blue Roan Bend website: https://www.blueroanbendoutfitters.com/fishing/

Weather was a little on the cold side in the mornings, but warmed up quite nicely by the afternoon

A few Texas FlyFishers made a trip to Arkansas in December of 2021. Eric gave a presentation of their adventures. Click above to read more.
7 of us were on the water that Saturday. The wind made launching any watercraft too much of a challenge.
Fish were caught, all from walking the shoreline. One brave soul camped the night before.
