TRIP REPORT: Blue Roan Bend Outfitters, Private Lake, Sat, July 16, 2022
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.
Blue Roan Bend Outfitters, Private Lake, Sat, July 16 2022
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/

Match the hatch
This little guy was caught on the shoreline of a local pond. He and his brothers are targets for the predators. Match the hatch!
