2007 David Young Memorial White Bass Outing
Colorado Bend State Park – March 22-25, 2007

Steve Flanagan and Bruce YoungLast month the Alamo Fly Fishers made our traditional group outing to Colorado Bend State Park to fish for white bass. Our leader, Bruce Young, did an excellent job with this outing. The fishing was good, the weather was very comfortable, and the food that came out of his camp kitchen was second to none! I think the fried fish and chips were the best ever. That may be due to Chuck’s assistance. I think Chuck has had some prior experience as a fry chef, or something. There was a good mix of first timers and veterans in our group this year. And it was nice to have all the women participating as well. Thank you for everyone’s help to make this another memorable outing.

2006 Oktoberfisch – A Fly Fishing Festival
October 20-22, 2006

Fishing the LlanoLast month we were invited by the Fredericksburg Fly Fishers to join them on the Llano River at their fly fishing festival called “Oktoberfisch”. WOW! We had a great time! Bruce Ward and the guys from Fredericksburg worked their butts off so the rest of us could have fun trying out new gear, learning to think like a fish, or just floating and fishing the river. There were about twelve of us from the Alamo Fly Fishers that made the trip to the hill country for the weekend. Some of us camped out along the river’s edge, and others found shelter in town or in local B&B’s. As usual, the Tentcot served us well, and attracted the attention of many of the other campers. The weather was fabulous – clear, cool, and crisp at night, and warming sunshine beamed down during the day. There had been some rain earlier in the week, but this was a great weekend to be outdoors.
