New NBFF club member David Eschberger caught his first rainbow on a fly rod and it was a palomino. I have not caught a palomino for two years now. I see them, but they just ignore me. So good job!
Fishing has been really good, get out there!
The fishing has really been good on the Guad, great luck on these colder rainy days for me. Girdle bugs, (pats jimmy legs) or woolly buggers or a Fox Squirrel followed with a prince nymph, hares ear or an emerger have been what I have been using. Though worms have done very well also.

The New Braunfels Fly Fishers provided gift bags of fly fishing accessories to the GRTU Youth Trout Camp participants to facilitate their quest to be proficient fly fishers. The gift bags consisted of a fly box, nippers, forceps, zingers, an assortment of flies, leaders and tippets. Many thanks to the Umpqua Company for donating the leader and tippet and Action Angler for helping us sourcing some items. The flies were tied or donated by members of NBFF: Ed Sweet, Gary Nyland, Jeff O’Bara, Ed Finger, Dick Holte and Ron Skarbowski.
The bags were presented on January 14th to Dakus Geeslin, GRTU Youth Chairman, by Pat McQuinn and Ron DeMeyer.
