Come Fly Fish With TWFF!
Texas Women Fly Fishers is a new non-profit fly fishing club for beginners to advanced offering six meetings/outings
per year moving all over the state.
TWFF
began September 19, 1999 at a fly fishing outing on the Llano River. Over 22
women attended and from that group came a zealous staff of dedicated officers
who have worked hard to create a web site, t-shirts, hats, a great newsletter,
and super successful outings.
Our first outing, in January on the Guadalupe River, hosted over 65
women. The second was packed for a reunion on the Llano. Then the third
adventure surprised the regulars at the Bud Priddy One Fly on the Nueces River
with a radiant
bunch of sun-shined fly fishing women on the 4th of August. This most colossal vent was a joint
effort, with fly fishing men and women from five clubs helping to produce the
biggest TWFF event of the year.
On August 10–12 at Houston County Lake,
TWFF offered free casting lessons, guided fly fishing trips, kayak lessons, fly
tying, Dutch oven cooking and a special guest speaker. The top instructors and
tyers came from all over Texas to help us produce a huge and very successful
extravaganza at the Crockett Family Center. We’re hoping to catch a “tail” for
the fifth outing September 22, when TWFF will pester Tom Lyons and the Texas
Fly Fishers at Port O'Connor for the annual Red Fish Rodeo.
We have tentative plans for Fairfield Lake in November for our
sixth outing. We currently have over 66 members but we're growing so fast that this count is
already inaccurate! We hope all the women in Texas will come join us for
lessons and fun. Bring your spouses, boyfriends,
partners, friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents
and children, too. Everyone is welcome!
