TFF Members,

We have another great saltwater trip coming up in July — and if you like clear water, this is the place!

This trip could also serve as an excellent scouting opportunity for our Redfish Rodeo on September 19.

If you are interested in joining us for the Aransas Pass outing, please let me know as soon as possible.

I am currently looking at renting a house that will accommodate 6 anglers. The house is located very close to the Aransas Pass Public Boat Ramp, making it convenient for launching each day.

Estimated Cost Per Person:

• Two nights lodging
• Light breakfasts
• Two dinners

Approximately $220–$250 per person

I am hoping to secure the rental by next week, so please let me know if you are interested.

This area offers miles of fishable water, beautiful scenery, and some of the best opportunities for redfish, trout, and other coastal species on the Texas coast.

Who’s in?

Monthly Meeting Tuesday May 26, 2026; Captain Steve Branch – Fly Fishing Port O’Connor

I plan to tie some VIP poppers.

Bring your vice, tools and thread and join in the tying,. I will supply the heads/bodies, and more.

Fish were caught. Fun was had. Food was eaten.

We had blue skies, some wind, and wonderful temperatures for our event at Damon’s 7 Lakes. Luckily, the cool front and rain ended Friday night (we had over 3-inches of rain at our home)! Due to all the raining on Friday afternoon and evening, the camping part of the JSSFS event was cancelled.

I was excited to be going on a fly fishing float trip with the Texas FlyFishers Club (TFF) on the Llano River above Junction, TX. I spent a good bit of time on Tuesday and Wednesday, thinking through, gathering, organizing, and packing for the trip. Part of the fun of any fly fishing trip, for me, is preparing for the trip. I was so excited that I left early Thursday morning and arrived at the campsite around noon—several hours before anyone else arrived. So, I had set up my camp and was resting and soaking in the surrounding as others arrived. That afternoon, I headed down river to the CR 150 crossing to do some wade fishing. I was looking forward to just being in the water, experiencing the push of cool water on my legs, breathing in the fresh air, observing nature, and maybe even catching a few fish. After all, “down at the core of every fisherman’s heart is the belief that on any day something wonderful and unlikely could be made to happen. And that if you’re careful and patient it could happen to you.” (John Gierach) I had a good inaugural outing and caught 15-20 sunfish in a few hours of fishing. I felt my mind clearing, a peace in my soul, and I had a lighter step walking back to camp.

Tax day came early on the Lavaca River.

The bite was slow all morning with 6 fish between the 3 of us.

Please remember that the Lavaca River outing is this Saturday 2/21, this is my first time!!

We have a great crew going 3 Yaks and 2 boats

Both Boats have room for one person, if you are interested call or email for connection.

 The Plan is at launch between 7 -8 am   sunrise 6:56am  – FM 616  boat ramp as it crosses Lavaca River   28.83761 – 96.576589 This is between Lolita and Lasalle on 616

Its going to be beautiful weather 70 -75deg. , a little breezy.so bring a spinning rod as Default.

As per our Expert Scott F

I typically use intermediate line and a full sink.  In warm weather a floater replaces the full sink.

Sink tip will also work.

Last week w/51F water, they were 2-4 ft deep.

If all you have is a floating line, it’s ok.  Use a longer leader to get fly deeper.

And use weighted flies.

I do various countdowns to try and find fish at different depths.
