Events

Bud Priddy The Alamo Fly Fishers will be hosting the 2008 Bud Priddy Memorial One Fly Contest on Saturday May 3rd from Camp Wood, Texas on the Nueces River.
Entry fee is $20 plus a duplicate of the fly you intend to fish. Registration will be from 7:30am to 8:30am on May 3rd at Lindbergh Park. The entry fee also includes dinner and door prizes. A buffet dinner will be served starting at 6:00pm at the Casa Falcon Restaurant in Camp Wood.
Contest prizes will be awarded in three categories to the lucky fly fisher who catches either the most fish, largest bass, or largest perch. Contest rules require that you use only a single fly, and count only the fish you bring to hand with that fly until you loose it or change to another fly. You may continue fishing after you change your fly, but caught fish will no longer count toward your contest totals. Fishing hours for the contest are between 7:30am and 5:00pm.

Woodbine Inn (Camp Wood) - (830) 597-2310

Jon King: State Fly Rod Record 42" Red Fish caught on the Texas Coast.The first group jetty trip of the year is planned for Saturday night June 22nd. As usual, we will take the last Jetty Boat run of the day, leaving Fisherman’s Wharf at 6:00pm, and camp out on the jetty all night. The North Jetty is a remote location, only accessible by boat, but still within view of Port Aransas. Jetties are manmade fish magnets, and you never know what you might catch.

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.

Stay tuned for details on our club's annual Christmas Party!
