Another great guided trip on the Guadalupe with Action Angler

Action Angler & Outdoor Center- Guadalupe River, New Braunfels, TX
The river is still fishing well. Best time of late has been early in the day. Take a break when the sun is high, maybe fish late for some bass. The shop is open through the window still and there are a few slots open for 1/2 day trips. Remember to watch your water temps so as to stress the trout the least. Keep them in the water and play them as little as possible.

Gruene Outfitters open May 1st

DOORS OPEN THIS FRIDAY, May 1

First, THANK YOU. From Tiffany, Eric, Brooke, Amy, Chris, Ashlee and the rest of the Gruene Outfitters / Pomegranate team, infinite gratitude for your support during the last six weeks. Your phone & online orders, curbside deliveries, gift certificates purchases, kind voice messages and emails all helped to keep the lights on and spirits high.

With the statewide go-ahead for retail businesses to re-open, we’re taking this week to get ready for you. A couple things to note – we’re restricted to 25% of our max capacity, so we’ll be at the door limiting who comes in.

We will be frequently cleaning high traffic areas such as flyboxes, registers, card readers, etc. and performing deep cleans every day at close.

If you have a face covering, we encourage you to wear it. If you need a face covering or non-medical grade mask, let us know – we have some for sale online and in-store and are happy to get you what you need.

CURBSIDE is now an option for online orders. At checkout, select Curbside Pickup as your Shipping Method. When order is complete, call the shop anytime during normal business hours, and we’ll bring to your car!

AND FINALLY – In addition to new 2020 Spring/Summer arrivals, we’ve got a healthy amount of great summer AND fall apparel and footwear on SALE! We invite you to support local Gruene business and score some amazing deals while you’re at it.
