UPCOMING FLY FISHING EVENTS

Starter Series: Choosing Your Fly Line System

One of the missions of Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing is to promote fly fishing here in Texas. In promoting the sport, education is needed for those that are new. A lack of education and the fear of approaching experts was a major reason that it took me soo long to get into the sport. So, providing easily accessible, honest advice to those just getting into fly fishing is something I am going to strive to provide. When first getting into fly fishing, you need to focus on acquiring five things. All of these can be expensive, but they don't have to be! There are less expensive ways to go about getting started if you want, and hopefully Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing can walk you through this process. Here is what you will need: Fly Rod Fly Reel Line Set-Up (Backing, line, leader, tippet) Accessories (flies, storage, net, etc.) Knowledge (where and how to fly fish) Each of these five things will be discussed in its own article.

Fish Spotlight: Guadalupe Bass

The Guadalupe Bass became the State Fish of Texas in 1989, and rightfully so.

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.
