New Braunfels Fly Fishers team with Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited
The New Braunfels Fly Fishers and Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited have teamed up to feed trout during the summer for the last three years with GRTU buying the fish food and NBFF providing the labor.
The club feeds from May through October, twice a week. The six locations that the club feeds are on the upper Guadalupe River below the dam. The goal of GRTU and NBFF is to provide another food source to assist the trout’s survival during the hot summer months.
Pictured are club members feeding at one of the prettiest spots on the river with enthusiastic help from Dominic, son of one of NBFF’s members.
If you enjoy fly fishing on the Guadalupe River, come join GRTU and NBFF and help support this local effort.
The NBFF’s Holdover Tournament will be held on November 4, 2023. Come join us for a fun time and great prizes.
The below link is to more pictures and some video of some happy fish. The summer and heat does not kill the fish, many will holdover year over year.

2023 Holdover Tournament
The 2023 Holdover Tournament will be held on November 4th. This tournament funds the New Braunfels Fly Fishers club for the year. This enables the club to pay speakers for our monthly meeting, support GRTU Youth Trout Camp with gift bags and other endeavors throughout the year. The catch results are provided to TPWD for their use in determining the health of the fishery.
Please consider participating this year and support our club. The prizes last year included a ½ day float trip for 2, a $75 gift certificate, multiple $50 gift certificates, multiple $25 gift certificates and a table full of gear and this year should be no different. It is a fun time and everyone goes home with a prize or prizes. The entry fee is $75 to wade and $200 to float.
Contact Ron DeMeyer by text 830.481.3405 or contact Chris Jackson at Action Angler Fly Shop after he returns from Colorado in October.
You will get a prize and lunch. This has always been a great time, and if you are new to the GRTU LAP program, or just new to the river, this is a great way to find the best place’s to fish and learn the river. Our club members like to help you find good spots to fish and advice on fly’s that work different times of the year. So come on out and do some fishing for fun!
You do NOT need to be a club member or a GRTU member to participate.
