Location: St. Thomas Presbyterian Church, 14100 Memorial Dr. Houston, TX  77079 Google maps

Social Hour: 6-7 pm
We will have a “social hour” from 6-7. Time to reconnect with friends, tell stories about life, fishing, etc. WE also plan to have some of our local fly tiers on hand demonstrating some tips and tricks.

Meeting Start Time: 7-9 pm
The meeting will begin promptly at 7pm and run no later than 9pm (most likely 830pm). The format will remain the same. Meeting will start with introduction of new attendees, reports outs from the various chairs (outings, finance, membership, etc), then the guest speaker.

We will continue to announce the monthly speakers with “posts” prior to the meeting.
Look forward to seeing you there.

SW Outing: Bayou Vista/Green Lake, March 21st, 2026

James Darby Leave a comment

Launch will be at either Louis’s Bait Camp or Harbor Walk Marina in Hitchcock — I’ll decide closer to the date based on conditions.

Fishing areas will include Highland Bayou, Jones Lake, Basford Bayou, Greens Lake, and the Highland Diversion Canal.

Plan is:
Launch at 6:30 AM

Meet up for lunch between 12:00–1:00 to regroup and decide the afternoon move.

I’ll plan to meet the yaks for lunch so we can picnic on my boat like we’ve done in the past

This house is on the Colorado river, so night fishing is on the schedule & maybe ad in some Fly Tring and is well appointed for having a Great weekend with some best people on the TEXAS Coast.

Please let me know if you are interested in day or Overnight by Oct 15. Contact Jim Darby via mobile phone or email (both above) Plus, if you are new to Saltwater Fly fishing, let me know and I will get you with an experienced club member. If you want to go ALL IN, a couple of guys could always book Ron Ridgeway, to get an even greater induction into what “I Live and Breath!!!

FW Outing: John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular, 10th of May 2025

The plan was to meet-up at 1000 and fish as long as we could.

The weather was perfect, and there was almost no wind.

Glenn, Paul, and Puck all were on the water by 1015. Glenn in a T120 with Paul and Puck in a 2-person pontoon.

Over 35 fish were caught. It was a mixture of LMB, bluegill, and redear.

Effective flies for the day were, a variation of the squirmy worm, STP frogs, spiders, and a few others.
