Fishing GTG this coming Saturday (July 16th)

Okay guys, it's HOT so that means early morning or late evening fishing.
We're going to shoot for early morning this Saturday at Waterloo Lake in
Denison. The plan is to start around 6:30 AM and fish until around 10:30 AM.
But, come when you want and leave when you want is the real deal.

Waterloo is best fished from a yak, canoe, kick-boat, etc. but can be fished from the bank.There are large mouth bass, crappie, sand bass, and various sunfish in the lake.Early in the day poppers and foam creatures work best and as it heats up subsurface flies such as cap spiders, wooly buggers (#10 & 12) in olive and black, etc. are the preferred menu items. 2 to 5 wt rods are perfect.

Hope to see you there!

Learn to Fish Event at Eisenhower SP

The final Learn to Fish Event of 2011 was held Saturday morning at Eisenhower State Park. The event kicked off at 8:30 with registration followed by a 45 minute angler education session before we met at the boathouse to fish.

We had a great turn out.

Special "THANKS" to a great group of volunteers for an awesome year of Angler Education.

Fishing GTG Today

A group of us met up this morning, Had breakfast at McDonald's, and headed to the lake. We had an opportunity to fish a large private lake. Fishing was really good. Greg kicked it off with a dozen or so bass and bluegill. Jerry joined in and caught a few. Then John got in on the action. Lee paddled over to see if the rest of us were doing any good and he started catching some. Lee paddled a short distance from us then hollered and when we looked his rod was bent double. He landed a 14 inch large mouth bass. It was a great day on the water and we are very thankful to the landowner for the opportunity to fish their lake.

July Presentation - "Fly Fishing the Paluxy River"

We will have a top notch presentation on the Paluxy River (The "P") by Sean Polk.

The Paluxy River is the hidden gem of North Texas Rivers. Often talked about in fly fishing circles, but rarely fished, the Paluxy offers top notch fly fishing within hours of the Metroplex. The clear waters of the Paluxy hold numerous pan fish and bass, along with healthy populations of hard fighting river carp. Sean will talk about access points, flies, times to fish, and techniques for catching.

Sean Polk has a life long passion of pursuing fish. Whether it's chasing redfish in the shallow flats of south Texas, trout in Arkansas, or bass in the clear rivers of Texas, he is constantly on the water fly fishing.
His experiences have taken to Belize, the Pacific Northwest, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, Vermont, and Florida. Sean started fly fishing at a young age, spending his summers fishing stock tanks and the Gulf of Mexico with his grandfathers. His dad introduced him to fly fishing and he has never looked back. Whether it is tying new patterns at the bench, teaching others to cast, or exploring new waters Sean is always looking at ways to expand his knowledge of the sport.

This is one you don't want to miss.
