NBFF Fly Tying this coming Thursday, 6-8:00pm

Come join our monthly Fly-Tying Session (first Thursday of each month) this coming Thursday (March 6th) from 6-8:00 pm. at the Westside Community Center, 2932 South IH 35 Frontage Road in New Braunfels. This month we will tying a fly called “The Smoke Jumper”. It’s a variation of a Zebra Midge which is a good trout fly on the Guadalupe. We will start promptly at 6:00 with a short “You Tube” fly tying skills video and then a video on tying our monthly fly. If you are new to fly tying, the club has several sets of tying equipment for your use and if you have your own, please bring them. The club will also supply all the needed tying materials.

Come on out and learn or practice your tying skills and tie some for yourself and also tie some for the club fly raffle held at our monthly NBFF Club Meetings.

NBFF at Troutfest TX 2025

NBFF AT TROUTFEST TX 2025

We put up our canopy for our booth on a cold Thursday, February 20^th, getting a great spot at L&L Campground for the festivities. We returned on Saturday morning to a canopy covered in ice and a very cold day. The rest of Saturday remained cold and dreary but turnout for Troutfest was exceptional and we entertained a lot of visitors with information about our club. Our members tried to stay warm with both wood and propane fires.

Our raffle winner on Saturday was Gene Battaglia from Laurel Hills, Florida. Gene won an Echo Ion reel and had traveled from Florida just to attend Troutfest. He said he was looking forward to catching a lot of fish on the reel.

Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day with a lot of visitors enjoying Troutfest TX 2025 and the great weather. Once again, we had a lot of visitors to our booth and hopefully the club will gain some new members.

Our raffle winner for Sunday was a young lady from Alaska. She won a fly box with 20 flies that were proven patterns for the Guadalupe River.

Top 12 Trout Flys

Here is a “You Tube” video that I found very interesting and thought it might be of interest to some our NBFF club members, especially anyone who is relatively new to fly fishing. The author discusses why he thinks that they are worth having and what they represent. We have tied a number of these flies in our club fly-tying sessions and hopefully they have been useful in catching some fish on the Guadalupe and other streams. You can click on the image below to find the video.

Good Luck and Tight Lines,

Gary
