Video from Jim Gray on Carp Fishing

Jim has been a speaker a number of times at our club meeting and has a lot of knowledge on fishing a number of the local areas, very fun to listen to.
He had posted this video on his facebook page and I thought I would share it on our page here for those that may not know Mr Gray.
Hope you enjoy!
Three years ago, Chris Johnson and I sat down to talk about carp. I get a lot of requests for a video of my carp presentation, and while this isn’t in the format of a presentation, it does cover a lot of the same material. If you are interested in catching carp on the fly, this is a good place to start.

NBFF December meeting notes

Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting

12/14/2022 – New Braunfels Public Library

Dan Cone called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm at the New Braunfels Public Library.

Gary Nyland was happy to report that he had nine members attend the last fly tying meeting.  The next meeting is scheduled for January 5th and will cover dubbing and tying a fly that requires dubbing.

Ron DeMeyer reported the outing to Castell was a success with 10 members making the trip.  Morgan Ferry was the top angler for the day.  The burgers were good, as always, and the beer was cold.

Morgan Ferry has set up an Instagram account for the club and is looking at possible improvements to our face book page.

Ron said the accessories that were ordered for the GRTU Youth Camp gift bags had just arrived.  Also, he said that the response from the members for flies to include in the bag had been really good with lots of flies donated.

Ron also brought up Troutfest Texas 2023 scheduled for February 17 – 19 and wanted to know if the club wanted to do the same this time as years past.  It was decided to stay with what we have done in the past.

Dan Cone was our guest speaker.  His subject for the evening was “Nymphing the Guadalupe” but morphed into fly fishing techniques in general and tips on how to improve your skills.  It was informative and entertaining.

Dan adjourned the meeting at 8:50 pm.

 

Next NBFF Fly Tying session is January 5th

Our next NBFF Fly Tying session will be next Thursday, January 5th., from 6-8 pm at the Westside Community Center at 2932 South IH 35 Frontage Road, New Braunfels.  In this session we will be practicing the skill of adding dubbing to your fly.  This is a skill that takes some practice to get the right amount dubbing for an accurate looking fly.  As usual, we will be tying some flies for the club meeting’s monthly fly raffles.  The club will supply the materials needed and we have tying tools for anyone needing them.
 Hope to see you there.
