FUN FISH

The New Braunfels Fly Fishers participated in the annual FUN FISH event hosted by WORD for kids aged 3 to 16. The kids fun fish day was held February 28th at Canyon Park. There were 400 registered to participate in the event. The event gave the kids an opportunity to fish for rainbow trout that had been stocked in a fenced off cove. There were also two fish ponds for the smaller toddlers that could not walk out on the dock. The kids could take their catch home for Mom to cook.
New Braunfels Fly Fishers gave the kids an opportunity to cast a fly rod with a felt fly (no hooks). There were a lot of smiling faces when they were able to get the fly into the hula hoop. The kids were then given M&Ms and a club logo sticker. We also had a fly exhibit organized based on the species of fish (thanks to Gruene Outfitters for the exhibit) so the kids could see the different flies. NBFF was also tying flies so the kids could see how they are tied.
It was a great day seeing the kids having so much fun.
Thanks to WORD for hosting and asking the New Braunfels Fly Fishers for participating.
