Outings Chairperson Update
Thanks to the members who participated in the Outings poll. Club trips to the San Gabriel, Llano, and other local waters were the clear winners. The results showed that there was less interest in “destination” and kayak fishing such as the Texas coast, the Colorado, and Oklahoma - but these trips still had interested members. I’m still learning about the Central Texas fishing scene so I probably missed some great fishing options. Don’t hesitate to send an e-mail if you have any outing ideas; its your club and the outings should reflect your fishing interests.
Planned Outings and Events
Plans are in the works to try again this year for a trip to the San Juan River, New Mexico. We are tentatively planning for sometime in early to mid April. More information will be shared at the January club meeting on 1/21/20.
Past Outings and Events
March 24 through March 30 2019, San Juan River, New Mexico
Place: San Juan River, New Mexico
Dates: Leaving Sunday March 24, Fishing Monday-Friday, Returning Saturday March 30
Lodging: Abe's Motel and Fly Shop
Fishing Report:Our trip to the San Juan River was changed due to a turbine issue at the Navajo Dam.
The river turned chocolate brown, and the water temperature dropped 10 degrees to a chilly 36F."Plann B" was a trip
to Taos, NM to fish the surrounding rivers. Seven members and guests fished 5 days on the Rio Grande, Red, Cimmaron,
and Conejos Rivers in NM and CO. Everyone caught a load of fish and most had an opportunity to work on rising browns
using dry flies - we're now addicted! Add excellent SW Mexican food, good fellowship, and clear weather to make our
stay in Taos quite enjoyable. Don't forget to ask Jim about the view at the hot springs or Rene about "baby powder"
or James being a shower freak. Needless to say we came away with a lot of stories and laughter. I hope to see you at
our next outing and a do-over trip to hit the San Juan....Ed
Original Information:Mark your calendars for the first fishing outing of the new year-the San Juan
River below Navajo Dam. This is a legendary tailwater fishery known for good numbers of big trout. We're
lucky to have a bucket list fishing spot within a day's drive of Georgetown! Check out this link for info on
the San Juan River https://www.sanjuanriver.com/ The plan is to drive to the San Juan on Sunday and fish Monday
through Friday, returning to Georgetown on Saturday. We'll form "buddy groups" for carpools and sharing motel rooms
for those interested in keeping their expenses down. I'll put together a list of participants and get the group
together in February to wrap up planning.
RSVP: Respond to Ed Siska, Outings coordinator by the end of January with your name, contact phone#,
email, Do you want to carpool?, Do you want to share a room/cabin?, Do you need to return early and if so, when?
