2025 Holdover Tournament

It is time for the annual Holdover Tournament hosted by the New Braunfels Fly Fishers   November 8th at Rio Guadalupe.  The tournament results are provided to TPWD to assess the condition of the fishery.  There will be great prizes for all participants including two ½ day float trips, a wading trip, rods, reels, packs, fly line and many other accessories to choose from. All participants receive a prize. Prizes will be awarded based on a point system that considers number and species of fish. There is also a prize for the largest trout.

Registration prior to the tournament is required so don’t hesitate, register early for a seat on a raft or wade fishing.  Details are included in the tournament flyer.

 

Club Picnic

June 28, 2025

New Braunfels Fly Fishers had a family picnic at River Chase on the Guadalupe River.  We had 25 club and family members attend the picnic.  The hamburgers, hot dogs, brownies, and baklava were all excellent.

We also had a fly-casting competition designed by Phil Lambrecht that 13 club members participated in.  The competition had 4 hula-hoops spaced out and the object was to see how many hoops you get your fly in within a 3-minute time limit.  Bo Lewis won the event and was awarded a gift certificate to Rio Anglers Fly Shop.

Next year we will schedule the picnic for a cooler time of year.
