Christian's first fish

I took Christain fishing Friday and he caught his first (7) fish.

Catch-up post

Yeah, I get really behind on this thing!!!

Lots has happened since the big ice storm of 2011.

March started out really slow for fishing. We traveled to Glenrose to participate in Al Crise Day II.

I was blessed by my charming and wonderful wife with a couple of new toys.

We visited Athens for Fly Fish Texas

We fished at Hagerman both in the creek and ponds and helped with their Kid Fish.

More soon...



SLEET, ICE, SNOW!!!

It was a fun week around here. It all began on Tuesday with sleet. Which turned to ice on Tuesday night. So, Wednesday morning I got to drive Patty (30 miles) to work.
Oh yeah, it was icy Thursday morning too. Same scenario! Then it snowed Thursday evening and early Friday morning so... you guessed it I drove her on Friday too.

But we survived and now it is melting!!!

Sandbass-a-Palooza

For the last few weeks we've been fishing the tailwaters of Lake Ray Roberts.
The sandbass have been biting like crazy. The first week I fished there I caught over 600
in 5 days. The bite has slowed a bit but spring is close so they'll turn back on soon.
I'm hearing that most tailwaters are producing about the same results.
Get out there and getcha some!!!

This is my catch-up post

LOTS has happened since we last spoke!!!

• We had our first RRFF meeting of the year and it went great!
  We had 20 people in attendance and even signed up a new member.
  
  
• We attended the Texas Fishing & Outdoors Show at Market Hall and shared a booth with Dallas Fly Fishers, Ft Worth Fly Fishers, and Texas Women Fly Fishers. The fellowship was great and we made lots of great contacts as well.
  
  
• We had a fishing GTG at the Trinity River below Ray Bob. 10 members attended and several of our DFF and FWFF friends as well. Fishing was a little slow but everyone caught fish. Then we went to the Dam Store and chowed down on Dam Burgers!!!
  

• We held our 7th Annual Texoma Tie in event at Eisenhower State Park on January 22nd. We had 25 tyers and lots of visitors. It was a fun time for all.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

New volunteer opportunities for me and Patty

Last Tuesday myself and Patty were elected to offices in the Red River Fly Fishing club.

I am the new President and Patty is the new Secretary.
The Board as a whole is looking forward to a fun filled 2011.

Arkansas last week

Last week several of us fly fishing club Presidents were invited to the FFF SoC Leadership retreat in Norfolk, Arkansas. We decided to go early and book a guide for a float trip down the Norfolk (North Fork of the White) River. Ken Richards owner of Just Fishin Guides was our guide. We put in at the boatramp below the dam at Norfork Lake and floated/waded to the convergence of the White River.
