If you’ve ever been interested in fly fishing in Alaska here is a new way to learn more. The Kenai Fishing Academy is a new Outdoor Education Program at the University of Alaska. What separates KFA from the average Alaskan fishing experience is that catching fish is combined with classroom subjects like river history and biology. There are two sessions, one for those interested mainly in bait and spin casting, the other for the fly fishing enthusiast. In either case, adult students spend four hours in a classroom each day and then are on the water in the afternoons and evenings, except for the last day(s) when anglers go on an all-day trip. Anglers will learn about river hydrology, Alaska wildlife and bear safety, fish characteristics, habitat protection and coldwater survival. There’s even a session on filleting, smoking, freezing, and canning your catch. As you will see, we’ve assembled some of Alaska’s top guides and instructors, and offer a program that is very affordable and truly unique.
I realize a lot of fishing clubs don’t promote commercial operations, but being part of The University of Alaska we are a nonprofit organization, so I hope you will consider sharing our website with your membership. You can check us out at Facebook or our website: http://kenaifishing.kpc.alaska.edu. If you’d like any further information, or have any questions about fishing in Alaska, please feel free to contact me.

Membership dues for Texas FlyFishers cover the Club fiscal year - from 01 July through 30 June - so if you haven't already done so it is time to renew. Our dues have been unchanged for the last fifteen years and this year we have added a PayPal membership dues payment option for those of you that prefer the convenience of electronic payment. You do not need a PayPal account to use this feature and can pay with your credit card. Using PayPal means that the club website does not have access to any of your billing information. If you are not comfortable with electronic payment systems please use the conventional SnailMail option. See the Membership page for more details.
Club Meetings are held at the Bayland Community Center in Bayland Park on the last Tuesday of the month.

If you have a place you have fished and would like to share it with the membership, please feel free to do so. Please note: This is a location and accessability map, not fishing reports. Reports go elsewhere in the forums.

Instructions on how to enter your new locatin should be on the left hand column. If you have problems please contact Me the administrator and I will try to find out what is wrong. Please be as detailed as possible, I'm not a mind reader.
"There are 3,700 named streams and 15 major rivers that meander through 191,000 miles of Texas landscape. These vastly important aquatic ecosystems play a major role in protecting water quality, preventing erosion, and providing nutrients and habitat for fish and wildlife. Along the way, water that eventually flows into seven major estuaries, supports over 212 reservoirs, countless riparian habitats, wetlands, and terrestrial areas. Each year Texas rivers and streams provide recreational opportunities to millions of Texans and visitors from all over the world.
The Texas River Guide provides river enthusiasts with an ever growing source for internet based information related to Texas Rivers. However, rivers are a natural resource that can be dangerous. When planning to recreate on rivers your individual skill level or the skill level of the least experienced person in your river party should dictate the level of river activities you should participate in."
The guide provides information on access to the rivers in Texas but it is not yet complete. Check it out at Texas River Guide .

The social scene before the meeting begins.
A Houston based non-profit organization associated with the Federation of Fly Fishers and dedicated to the promotion of fly fishing education, conservation, and outdoors ethics.
The Texas FlyFishers of Houston was founded in 1976 by a group of avid fly fishermen. Their objectives then, as ours are now, were to share their knowledge of fly fishing with one another and others who wanted to learn, to help in conserving our natural resources, to enjoy the camaraderie of fly fishing, and to have a good time doing it.
We have an active club with a full range of activities. There is something for everyone, from beginner to expert, from the very young to those who remember when all fly rods were made of cane, and for all skill levels, from those who haven't yet held a fly rod to those who can cast more fly line than you can buy.
Attendance varies between 50 and 70 each month.

Redfish Rodeo
Well as the 25th anniversary redfish rodeo has passed and proved to be a major success! Everybody really had a great time. The food was awesome, the refreshments - very refreshing, and the fishing was very good. I want to say thanks to my team of cooks Adam Muire, George Sutherland, Sam Lee, Aaron Hammer, Nick Somogyi, and John Purcell, with help from everybody else nobody left the table hungry! The condos were very comfortable and spacious except for parking but that worked out too.

Sabine River Float
Three TFF members pre-fished the river late Friday. There were some small Kentucky bass and bluegill willing to take flies. Saturday at 6am a total of six Texas FlyFishers showed up at Tak-A-Paw, coffee in hand. Finally the canoes are in the water, the Texas FlyFishers had loaded their gear and in less than 5 minutes later calls of “Fish on!” were heard.
