UPCOMING FLY FISHING EVENTS

Carp in Texas: Part 1 - What are Carp? (and What Ain't?)

Considered a nuisance fish by most anglers in America, carp in Texas seem to be as divisive a topic as the Dallas Cowboys, the legalization of marijuana, or Kinky Freidman. Some love them, many hate them. Discussions about carp can quickly become as heated of a debate as one about UT vs A&M, putting sauce on Bar-B-Que (notice the spelling), or wind turbines. As carp fishing (especially fly fishing) becomes increasingly popular in Texas, this divisiveness may get further entrenched. All sides of the carp debate feel solidly correct, but what is the truth...are they trash fish, do they destroy the environment, are they a prize catch? What are these carp in Texas and what is their impact? In this five-part series, Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing , will attempt to dive deeply into the subject to root out as much CORRECT information as possible. Be sure to understand the facts before you make a decision.

Fish Spotlight: Bowfin

Fish Spotlight: Bowfin Known by a nearly a million names, the Bowfin may be considered a " trash-fish " by many, but their native existence in Texas is just about as cool as any other species here, and they deserve some respect! I must admit, I have never fished for Bowfin, nor have I been around while someone else has landed one. And, I knew very little about these fish before I started researching them for this Fish Spotlight . But I genuinely now think that these are some of the coolest fish here in Texas, and I will dedicate some time to target Bowfin in the future. Much of my research included information from Dr. Solomon David and a few dedicated Bowfin fly anglers, including Stavros Cotsoradis (the current Texas fly fishing record holder) and the Bowfin man himself, Danny Scarborough from Houston Fly Fishing Guide Services .

Fish Spotlight: Rio Grande Cichlid

For our first Fish Spotlight, TFFF is going to introduce you to the Rio Grande Cichlid. It is the fish that we have dedicated 2021 to, with The Year of the Rio ! If you haven't checked out the Year of the Rio yet, be sure you do. Fish Spotlight: Rio Grande Cichlid Photograph courtesy of Mike Schlimgen
