Creating flies and fishing them so they behave more naturally is the premise behind what Allen McGee calls behavioral nymphing. With this subtle technique, you can simulate a living insect that is swimming, drifting helplessly, or rising and emerging. Read more in this article from 2009!

We had some surplus rainbow trout this year – 1,047 were stocked in Blanco State Park today and a total of 4,000 will be stocked in the Guadalupe River tomorrow. 2,000 trout will be stocked at Guadalupe Park (just downstream of Canyon Lake dam) and 2,000 will be stocked at Camp Huaco Springs. These locations were chosen because they provide free public access and have suitable temperatures for trout (<70 F), even at the close of the trout stocking season. Trout stocking will resume in December 2022, details of which will be posted on our website about that time.
In the meantime, head over to our web page and look under the education tab for some new updates, A Guide to Matching the Hatch, 7 Core Fishing Knots, and 12 Trout Fishing Tips.
Even though it is 80+ one day and then 34 the next, there is still a lot of fish out there. The spawn has started so egg’s are productive along with WD40’s, Zebra Midges, emergers, and good ol San Juan worms.
The meeting tonight has been canceled due to possible bad weather. I am attempting to reschedule Jim’s talk to May.
Hope to see you at our March meeting.
