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:

September has become the month to promote and highlight “Women in Fly Fishing”. Men appear to outnumber women in the sport of fly fishing, and in the membership numbers for the Alamo Fly Fishers. It has become obvious to the leadership of this club that we need to do more to attract women to fly fishing. As a rule, women learn quicker than men to be better fly casters, and generally are thought to be better at tying flies. Women who try fly fishing seem to develop better mechanics sooner than men, but for whatever reason they don’t sign up with the same numbers. | ||
