(Carmine’s Restaurant – Phil Sprio Chef/Owner) PLEASE NOTE!!! The January meeting will NOT be at our regular location! It will be at Carmine's Restaurant.
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 9:00 pm
By: Rob Burlingame, AFF President PLEASE NOTE!!! The January meeting will NOT be at our regular location and NOT on our usual meeting night! It will be at Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar on Thursday, January 15th.
Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar is a neighborhood style bistro featuring dishes inspired by the cuisines of France, Italy, Spain and the Mediterranean. Their emphasis on freshness and quality service is evident to anyone who has dined there. In addition to great food, atmosphere and service, they offer a thoughtful wine list and an eclectic beer selection to compliment the menu. This year, Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar was proud to be named the Critic’s Choice Best New Restaurant for 2008 by the San Antonio Express News. The January meeting will be held at Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar on Tuesday January 15th starting at 7:00pm. The restaurant is located at the corner of Blanco Road & Cadillac Drive, roughly half way between Loop 410 and Loop 1604. We are still working out the final details of the event with Jean-Francois, but expect it will be similar in format to last year, with a couple of exceptions. They are putting together a menu suitable to our club for a reasonable cost of about $20 per person. The cost will include a four course meal, with the main entrée served family style featuring several types of fish caught right here along the Texas coast. There will be a cash bar as well for anyone wanting to sample the wonderful beer and wine selection. As I write this, I am anxiously waiting on my third annual new year’s trip to the coast, in search of your dinner for that evening. It is a tough job put on the officers to supply fish for our January meeting, but if we have to go fishing for the benefit of the club, I guess we will survive! Please help us spread the word. Our January AFF meeting will NOT be held at the Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church as it typically is. We will be meeting at Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar at around 7:00 PM on January 15th. DIRECTIONS: to 14415 Blanco Road FROM LOOP 410 FROM LOOP 1604 The phone number for Soleil Bistro & Wine Bar is 210-408-2670. We will have an abbreviated meeting up front, and suspend the fly raffle until next month so that we may get started as soon as possible. Hope to see everyone there! Please feel free to call any of the officers with questions. Until then, get out and do some fishing. | ||

Ron McAlpin - Fly Fishing for White Bass
Ron could be considered an expert in many types of Texas fly fishing and white bass fishing is no exception. He has fly fished the creeks, rivers and lakes of the Hill Country for the last 35 years. His first fly rod was even purchased to target white bass! In fact, Ron still prefers to fish with some of his early gear (some 30 years old!). His passion for vintage fishing gear seems to stem from its functionality and his ability to feel more subtle strikes on the older rods. Currently living in Boerne, just outside of San Antonio, he continues to fish these pristine rivers as often as he can. Some of you may know Ron from his dedication to GRTU and his current service as a board member. Ron is extremely passionate about fly fishing, which I am certain you will see through his presentation. Ron will present an all inclusive slideshow on fishing for white bass. He plans to cover the species in detail, including what and how they eat, spawning cycles and life cycles. He will provide great insight on what makes white bass run and the characteristics of the run. Once we understand the underlying fish and their patterns, Ron will give suggestions on what type of gear you will need and what flies you should throw to be most successful. Most importantly, he will provide some insight on where to fish and how to determine the best times to fish to ensure better success. Using his suggestions can help us to plan ahead to make sure we are able to be on the water just in time for the prime run of the season! After fishing for this species for several decades, Ron prides himself with being able to catch large numbers of white bass even after most of the anglers claim that the run has ended. In fact, his best season to date logged 170 fish in 15 hours of fishing! | ||

Colorado Bend State Park – March 20th – 23rd
Eight to ten years ago, on some of my earliest trips to Colorado Bend State Park, I remember the group of us being rather small. The David Young and David Wallace families, and just four or five more of us, easily ate together and stayed on as few as three campsites. Our traditional fish fry on Saturday night was attended my no more than eighteen people. (Over the past two years we have had between forty-five and sixty club members and their families and guests attend the fish fry!) And the names were fun too: we had four David’s (three Young’s and one Wallace) and two Bruce’s (one Nelson and one Young) in camp. It could be very confusing.

Many of the club veterans know Bud Priddy’s book well, titled Fly Fishing the Texas Hill Country, and still keep a tattered version of the book on hand as a useful reference tool full of great tips and locations on the many pristine rivers we can access in the Hill Country. More so, the book serves as a tribute and memoir to many of a great friend and well respected member and officer of the Alamo Fly Fishers. The book has been through four versions to my knowledge, starting with a “club copy” compiled in May 1987 and published in full form in 1994 and the latest revision being published in 2000 by W.T. Taylor of Barksdale, TX. The book proved its usefulness through sales of literally thousands of books, probably nearing the 20,000 mark by now. Kevin started compiling his version of the book some time ago from the original manuscripts and should be released very soon. Kevin’s journey in writing this book is sure to be informative and will likely serve not only as a great resource of shared professional knowledge, but also as a tribute to the great sportsman who first wrote the book. | ||

Transport from Fulton Harbor on the Skimmer SPACE IS LIMITED, SO PLEASE SIGN UP EARLY!!!
We will meet at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, April 26th, at Rockport Birding and Kayak Adventures (www.rockportadventures.com), 216 North Fulton Beach Road. We will load our kayaks and fishing gear aboard their transport boat, the Skimmer, and try to leave by 6:00 a.m. Capt. Tommy Moore will be taking us to the edge of the Fence Lake area on the backside of San Jose Island for a day of fishing and kayaking. This is a premier flats fishing area where tailing redfish are commonly found. But don’t overlook the drop-off along the shoreline, potholes, and passes for Speckled Trout. The Skimmer will return to pick us up later that afternoon, approximately 3:30 p.m. A definite time and location for the return trip will be determined that morning. We are going to a remote area, and we will be on the water all day. Some things you should consider bringing are:

Marcus Rodriguez and Johnny Quiroz met while attending Southwest Texas State University. As they got to know one another, they found that both had a frenzied interest in fly fishing the beautiful rivers of the Texas Hill Country. Since their first meeting, Marcus and Johnny have floated thousands of river miles armed with fly rods. In 1998 they decided to start The Guides of Texas as a way to share their wonderful adventures with others. | ||

Stacey has been around kayaks for quite some time and is very knowledgeable about nearly every aspect of the sport. Her insight into some of the new and exciting technologies currently being used by kayak manufacturers should make for an exciting presentation. We are hoping that Stacey will be able to bring a couple of boats along so that you can see some of the latest and greatest enhancements first hand. Ever wondered how you can equip your kayak so that you can stand in it? What makes some paddles better than others? How about the different shapes and sizes of kayaks? How can a rudder help me? If you have gone shopping for kayaks, you know just how many different brands and types are out there. Stacey would be a great person to help you pick the perfect one! Whether you have been paddling since the pioneers first donned the Texas flats or are just starting the adventure, this presentation should give you plenty of pointers on what sort of kayak will best suit your needs or what you can do to create a better “old faithful”. Come to the presentation with your questions…this will be a great opportunity to get the scoop from an expert. Timing could not be better for her presentation, since the summer fishing season is just getting into full swing. Many of us will be heading out (if we have not already) to chase the pods of tailing redfish that are already showing up in good numbers. Maybe it is time to visit Stacey in her shop for an upgraded kayak or for a few accessories to finish off your fishing vehicle! You can find Stacey at her shop at 18720 Stone Oak Parkway if you find yourself in need of a kayak, supplies or fly fishing gear. You can also call them at (210) 494-4200. | ||

It is time to dust off some of the equipment in our closet that has long since been replaced and pass it on to fellow members at the sale table we will have set up. For those who have been wondering how you can accumulate so much fly fishing gear, this is a great opportunity to make space in your closet for some new additions. For those new to the game, this is a great venue to upgrade some of your tackle or try out some new tackle at discounted prices. Be sure to bring some goodies along with you to sell at the meeting. The goal of our information tables is to provide one-on-one guidance on a variety of saltwater adventures. Todd Fleming will be hosting a table dedicated to sight casting the flats and kayak fishing. Bill Slough will be discussing night time adventures at the jetties and the surf. I will be covering tide charts and fishing maps. We are still working on a couple of other mystery tables that could be added to the list as we draw closer to the meeting. This will be an evening to come prepared with your questions on nearly anything related to fly fishing the salt. Do you need help selecting the best rod/reel set up? How about the best way to rig your tippets, leaders and flies. How can you bring all that you need without bringing everything you have? Where are the best places to fish? How can I make sense of a tide chart and how can they help me? Where can I find fish during the late shift? What is the best way to maintain, repair and store my gear? Our host of volunteers will be ready to discuss nearly anything else you can throw at them. This is a great place to find personalized advice and answers to the questions we have all asked at some stage of our learning. | ||

by Rob Burlingame, Alamo Fly Fishers VP Have you ever wondered what to do if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation while you are out on an adventurous fishing trip? How do you handle first aid in the field? What should you have with you just in case? Our August meeting will host Dave Heitzman, the Clinical Director for Baptist Medical Center’s Emergency Department. He will be discussing a range of aspects on what to do if first aid is needed while in the field. Dave has been in the medical field since graduating from U.T. Health Science Center here in San Antonio in 1993. During this time, he was a member of the Air Force and involved with a wide range of emergency related services, including his roles as an Emergency Nurse, Instructor Flight Nurse and Assistant Nurse Manager of an Emergency Department. In looking over Dave’s resume, he has experienced some very exciting and adventurous nursing roles, such as aeromedical missions in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Joint Forge and leading a medical team for a NASA recovery mission in Kazakhstan. His various roles have certainly provided him with hands on experience for nearly anything one could experience while exploring the outdoors. Personally, Dave is active as the Assistant Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 145. He has presented similar topics to his troop to help them gain the knowledge needed to live up to their motto, “Be Prepared”. Clearly, Dave is well qualified to speak on the topic of field first aid and should be a great resource to help us all be more prepared if something does happen while we are in the field. Come to the presentation with your questions…this will be a great opportunity to have them answered by an expert in the field. Whether you are heading out later this month to chase redfish in the flats, catching the Hill Country action in full swing or heading some place more exotic, this is a presentation you will not want to miss. While none of us want to experience an emergency while we are out fishing, especially in a remote location, if something should happen, we would all want to be prepared. This presentation will surely give you a head start on what to bring and what to do if you ever find yourself or a friend in need. I look forward to seeing everyone there! | ||

To help us all avoid the frustrations of bad casts and poor set ups, we have invited one of our favorite Texas coast fly fishing guides, Captain Billy Trimble to be our host speaker for October. He has prepared a wonderful presentation full of “professional secrets” on how to rig up and cast for redfish. Capt. Billy Trimble has been an avid fly fisherman since he was introduced to the sport over 25 years ago. Since that time he has fly fished in eleven states and 4 countries. To say that Billy is an avid angler is an understatement. Before he began guiding professionally, he averaged over 100 days a year on the water catching everything from Redfish and Black Drum to Red Ear and Black Bass, along with more exotic species like Cutthroat to Chum Salmon. Capt. Trimble specializes in guiding clients on his Hell's Bay flats boat, sight casting to Redfish, Speckled Trout and Black Drum. He is a gifted fly tier, designing practical, successful patterns for his guiding business and for a few fly shops. Just recently, a couple of Capt. Billy Trimble’s flies have been picked up for commercial production, including probably his most famous, the “Blind Chicken”. Capt. Billy Trimble is the owner of Trimble Fly Fishing, a professional guiding service for fly fishers of all experience levels. Check out his photos and stories at www.trimbleflyfishing.com. Capt. Billy’s patience and exceptional knowledge make for a pleasant and informative day of fishing, regardless of your skill level. He is based out of the Aransas Pass area. Billy guides clients on the coast for most of the years in the bays between Rockport and Corpus Christi. | ||

Bill is currently the VP of Fisheries for GRTU and has chased many of the species offered by the Guadalupe River for over 16 years. After his retirement from Dell Computers in 2000, he moved to the banks of the Guadalupe River and began a guide service. This has put Bill on these waters almost daily for the past decade. Needless to say, his knowledge of the river and the fish it holds is exceptional. This is easily noted by his appearance in a number of national magazines and television shows over the past several years. This is definitely a meeting you will not want to miss, especially if you want to get a head start on the trout fishing season just getting underway. Join us on Tuesday November 18th for a great presentation to better prepare you for success on your next outing to one of the area’s greatest rivers. | ||
