Need some sign-ups: FW Outing: John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular, 2nd of May 2026

We need folks to sign up early. The headcount is needed to buy the correct amount of food and make sure that we have enough volunteers to make a successful event.

Also by signing up early you save $10. ($20 for early sign-up, $30 for show up).

Online registration closes at midnight on Wednesday, April 29th. We like early online registrations to give David a better count of attendees; he can more accurately purchase the correct amount food for our lunch. (It takes two days to thaw the hamburger patties and a thawed hamburger cooks quicker. So the food will be purchased on April 29th.)

Report: Going Out With a Bang, Fly Fishing on the Guadalupe River, March 16-18, 2026, Paul R.

The Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake is the southernmost trout fishery in the United States. Canyon Lake Dam was completed in 1964. Cold water released from the dam keeps the river cold enough to hold trout (they generally need water below 69 degrees) for about 8-10 miles. Since the 1970s the Guadalupe River Trout Unlmited (GRTU) chapter has stocked and focused on expanding the fishery. Each year the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and GRTU stock thousands of rainbow trout. Some survive the Texas summer heat and warming water, but most do not. The trout fishing season goes from about November-March, which is quite different from other parts of the country.
