Bud PriddyBud 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.

For area accommodations, please check out the following motels and campgrounds:
Woodbine Inn (Camp Wood) - (830) 597-2310
Nueces River Motel (Barksdale) - (830) 234-3648
Big Oak River Camp (South of Camp Wood) - (830) 597-5280
Wes Cooksey RV Park (South of Camp Wood) - (830) 597-3223

I hope to see you on the river in Camp Wood!

Marcus Rodriguez & Johnny QuirozMarcus Rodriguez & Johnny QuirozOur May meeting will host two wonderful anglers whose entire being seems to revolve around fly fishing. Marcus Rodriguez and Johnny Quiroz will be sharing their vast knowledge gained through many hours and miles on Texas Rivers. As the waters begin to warm in the Hill Country and central Texas, these rivers come to life with fishing opportunities. Whether you are chasing sunfish at the Nueces, bass on the Guadalupe or smallmouth on the Blanco, this presentation is sure to enhance your overall fly fishing experience. Marcus and Johnny will be sharing their knowledge of the excellent fishing we have right in our back yard. Expect excellent tips and priceless insight from them on how and where to fish on their favorite Hill Country rivers, including the Blanco, San Marcos, San Gabriel, Llano and Medina Rivers to name a few. The knowledge they will share was learned the hard (yet fun) way, through countless hours on the waters of the beautiful central Texas Rivers.

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.

Our June meeting will host Stacey Banta, the owner of a wonderful new fly fishing and kayak shop in northern San Antonio. Stacey will be speaking to the club about all of the wonderful new enhancements and “toys” that have just come into the paddling world.

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.

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.

With summer well upon us and saltwater fishing action in full swing, we have decided to try something a little new and different for this month’s chapter meeting. We will be hosting a “Saltwater Smorgasbord” in conjunction with a club swap meet. At this month’s meeting, we will set up a table or two in our usual meeting room for those who are interested to showcase your items to sell. Aside from the sale table, the rest of the room will feature a few information tables covering a range of topics and possibly a movie section to preview some exciting fly fishing footage.

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.

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.
