Here is our current plan: Damon 7 Lakes from 1800 Friday to 0300 Saturday, fishing from a watercraft, the type depending on how many of us feel the need to be on the water.
There would be a $30/person guest fee for anybody willing to join in.

This is THE family friendly event of the year!
Join us for our annual fun family fishing event and lunch on Saturday, (confirm date), at Damon Seven Lakes. If you’re lucky, you can earn the chance to capture the John Scarborough Sunfish Spectacular Trophy!
Fishing from the shore, but kickboat, canoe, and/or kayak are quite successful.
Contrary to the name there are now nine different, unique lakes of good size that hold largemouth bass, tiger bass, catfish, black crappie, and bluegill. Catching bass in the three to five pound range is a normal occurrence. Twelve pound bass, decent channel cats, and twelve inch bream have been caught in the last four years.

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.
The South Llano Trip is just over the horizon. We have only a small number of members signed up at this time.

Texas FlyFishers of Houston
Event: Fishing the Sabine River below the generation canal
When: June 13-16th, 2024
Trip Description: Fishing the Sabine River below the generation canal. We plan to fish the generation canal, but if the generators start up we will quickly shift our efforts to the lake. Launch and take-out will be the new boat launch on the generation canal. Species targeted are , LMG, KLMB, yellow sunfish, white bass, gar (3 species), catfish (2 species) and, if extremely lucky, striped bass.
We have access to a larger (1200sf) cabin, and camping facilities. One bed is already claimed, but there is another bed and multiple spots in the main room still open. We will also be able to put multiple tents up in the immediate area. If the generation canal is unfishable, due to high flow, we still have “coldwater” and the lake.
Where: Fishing the Sabine River below the generation canal. Camping at TBARS
Start Time: 1600 on Friday
End Time: 1100 on Sunday
Trip Leader: Puck

The following content is accessible for members only, please sign in.
Members are encouraged to bring guests. These guests are how we spread the word, and it is always good to have friends on the water.
We have some casting instruction set up. Jim has already coordinated with folks to be able to get your casting better, with the objective of catching fish.
Lunch is looking pretty good. Standard hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on charcoal.
If a person new to the sport needs a little guidance, we have a few volunteers willing to be “fishing buddies” for a few hours.
I’ve been fishing at Damon 7 Lakes the last few weeks, and have been very successful.
We still need a few volunteers to help out with cooking and cleanup. Please contact David with your availability.
Please register ahead of time. This helps with making sure we have enough food and drinks for participants.
