New Braunfels Fly Fishers had a great time at Troutfest 2020. Our booth attracted a lot of attention and we had many good talks with not only local’s, but a lot of interest from outside of the area. A lot of good tips and info was exchanged by everyone. The fly box and assortment of “Guadalupe” fly’s got quite a few participants and was won by Champion Baumstimler of Midland, Texas.
All in all it was another great Troutfest and a lot of fun!
Gruene Outfitters is having a fly fishing tournament called Agua Fresca; 75 spots for adult anglers and 25 spots for 16 and under.

Troutfest Auction 1/2 day float
Troutfest Auction 1/2 day Float #2
A guided 1/2 day float trip in Central Texas with Action Anglers. Action Angler guides the Guadalupe River between Canyon Dam and the town of New Braunfels. We have been guiding central Texas rivers for over 10 years. The watercraft we use are whitewater rafts custom-designed for 2 anglers, complete with casting platforms and lean bars. These rafts are very stable and comfortable and are great for getting through shallow water.
The Guadalupe River has an abundance of fish species including Rainbow Trout, the state native Guadalupe Bass, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, several species of Sunfish, and Rio Grande Perch, all of which will take a fly. The best rod to use on this river is an 8 to 9-foot, 3-weight to 6-weight fly rod. Roll casting a nymph rig is the most commonly used technique for trout. Poppers and streamers are used for bass and perch.
