The weather was great for the “Holdover Tournament” on November 7^th but the trout didn’t cooperate.  Sunfish numbers won the day with a redhorse sucker taking “big fish”.  The New Braunfels Fly Fishers would like to thank the 12+ contestants for their participation and support.  Some are pictured below:

The club would also like to thank the local fly shops and outfitters for their donation of prizes:  Living Water Fly Shop, Castell Guide Service, Gruene Outfitters, Action Angler & Outdoor Center, and the estate of Mike Wright.

Also, we appreciate the guides who donated their time, equipment and expertise.  These include Chris Jackson, Grace Dauzat and Dane Cone.

Everyone had a great time!

Hopefully, you can join us next year!

Been waiting a year for these to come in!

Back in stock. #airlock #flyfishing #nymphing #indicators #flyfishingtexas

And note, Action Angler is open, max of four shoppers in the shop at a time and a face covering is mandatory. Please help us to comply with local regulations and stay open for you. Thanks!!

The annual Holdover Tournament has been held for the past several years and provides Texas Parks and Wildlife with data on species and numbers of fish in the upper Guadalupe River, as well as being the main fundraiser for the New Braunfels Fly Fishers club for the past several years.  So sign up to participate and help the club and your local fishery.  You may also win a nice prize for yourself.
