Greetings Fellow Fly Fishers,

We hope this email finds you healthy and ready to hit the water!  The fishing on Brushy Creek has been fantastic and it will just keep getting better as the weather warms.  Give the shop a call if you need the latest fishing report before you head out!

As you know, Texas is beginning to re-open in a limited fashion and we are doing the same at Living Waters.  So without further ado, here are a few announcements that we want to bring to your attention:

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.

You can support your local fly shop

Window shopping with a view. Action Angler shop is open if you need something for fishing. Right now you cannot come into the shop but they can sell through the window to maintain social distancing rules at this time. So, support your local shop, come on by.

Also, there is river access from the parking lot. Either pay at the shop or at the honor box at the trail head.
