For our next NBFF fly tyers meeting on Tue. Dec. 11 we will be expanding our varieties on the Teeny Nymph Fly that we began on our first fall meeting. This is a simple fly with several variations. We will be tying variations adding rear legs, wings, tails, bead heads and Crystal Flash to the hackle section. This should be a good fly for the upcoming trout season. The meeting will be from 7-9 pm at the American Legion Post on 410 W. Coll Street in New Braunfels. You may bring your own tying equipment or the club can supply you with the needed tying equipment, if needed.

November 27th Meeting Speakers
Our November meeting will be held on the Tuesday, November 27th, at 7:00 pm at the New Braunfels Public Library. Our speakers for the evening will be Chase Smith and Robby Hensley. Their presentation will cover a low-budget trip to Baja, Mexico to target Roosterfish in the surf.
A quote from Michael Aldridge, Education Chair for Texas Council FFI and Outings Director, Hill Country Fly Fishers, from an email response to my request for him to speak (He was busy):
“There are a couple of young, incredible fly anglers here with the Hill Country Fly Fishers club that might be able to help with a presentation if you’re still looking for a speaker on November 27. They are Chase Smith and Robert Hensley. The second to last Drake Magazine mentions them both as winners of the last two “Escarpment” carp tournaments. Chase ties some of the best articulated flies, “game changers,” I’ve ever seen! Both are wonderful young men who’ve done more with a fly rod in one year than most have in a lifetime! From the Texas Hill Country to CO/NM to Baja.”
Hope to see you all there!!

FROM THE SALT!!!!!!!
On Friday the 16th of November, 2018, Jerry Horton and Phil Lambrecht went to the Salt and had some luck with red fish. Jerry Horton with slot red he caught in a secret place with a secret fly. I’m sure he will let us know what and where in the meeting this month. Be there for the info on the Red.
NBFF FLY TYING NIGHT
We have to say that the new facilities at the American Legion Hall in New Braunfels worked perfectly for fly tying. Tables and chairs were available and plenty of room for setting up vises and tools. There were 5 Tyers that showed up for this first session and it went great. The next session will be in December on the second Tuesday of the month. Please feel free to join the group for tying and fish stories. Those members present were, Jeff O’bara, Gary Nyland, Phil Lambrecht, Carl Druebert and Mike Engelhardt
We want to thank the Walton F Hoffman Memorial Post 410 for their support in providing us with the room for our meetings, and encourage any one eligible to join the Post to join.
