Hunting Holdovers: Pursuing Naturalized Trout on the Guadalupe.
Many are familiar with the Guadalupe River trout fishery and the fact that it is our primary guiding destination during the cooler months. However, before the unofficial trout season actually starts, many anglers try their luck at hooking “holdovers” (Trout that have made it through the hot Texas summer). Chris has chased holdover trout intentionally for the last 10+ years on the Guadalupe and more often than not, he finds them! While it is great fun trying to hunt the proverbial needle in the haystack, there are several things that anglers need to know to increase their effectiveness in catching and successfully releasing Texas’ holdovers. Join Chris this Saturday as he covers the following topics:
• Water temperature and its importance
• How to safely handle and release your catch
• How to pick the best days for holdover hunting
• Targeting the tailrace: where to look for holdovers
• Proper fish-fighting techniques that will aid in an effective release
• Techniques and fly selection

Annual Holdover Tournament

The annual Holdover Tournament has been held for the past several years and provides Texas Parks and Wildlife with data on species and numbers of fish in the upper Guadalupe River, as well as being the main fundraiser for the New Braunfels Fly Fishers club for the past several years.  So sign up to participate and help the club and your local fishery.  You may also win a nice prize for yourself.

The following information is preliminary and the details may change but as of today:

This is a multi-species tournament with points awarded by type of fish caught.  Tournament participants will meet at Action Angler Fly Shop on River Road at 8:00 am on November 7th for orientation and return to the shop at 4:30 pm for compilation of results, awarding of prizes and refreshments.  The entry cost is $200 per seat for a guided float trip which includes lunch or $75 for a  self guided wade trip.  Contact Dan Cone via text at 325.423.0045 to enter. 

Major prizes awarded in past tournaments include:  Float trips with local guides, reels, custom fly rods, wading boots and many others.  So come join us!!

Dan Cone is preparing a flyer that will be published in the near future with additional details.
