Your dues are annual and are due on the day you joined. (Example: joined/paid in May, due the next May)
You receive an email renewal notice from our Membership Works (MW) program one month prior to your dues becoming due. The notice has links on how to pay via PayPal, Zelle, or check.
Late Dues Process
As your dues become late, I send out reminder notices after 30 and 45 days.
At the end of 60 days, if dues are not paid your MW account will be deleted.

Your paid membership provides you with an account on our Membership Works program.
The membership works program allow us to track dues, provides you the opportunity to participate in events, interest level, etc.

TFF Saltwater Outing Coordinator
I am a bit late on posting this update, but the TFF sponsored Houston TITC project, released over 2000 young rainbow trout in the TU managed section of the Guadalupe, at the end of April/beginning of May. The program this year was a great success, with 14 high schools across the entire Houston area taking part. We had tanks running in every high school in Lamar ISD, out west as far as New Caney and even in the Conroe area. Looking forward to 2027, we are now have secured additional sponsorship for the program from the Bass Pro Foundation, and the Texas council of the FFI, both of which will help us add new schools in future years. We will start setting up the 2027 program later this fall, so if you know if any high school, or middle school science or outdoor education teachers that might be interested in taking part, please let me know!

I finally found some of the foam bodies. A company had 810 of them, so I bought them all (at 11¢ each)
Right behind that I had a 25% off on Mustad hooks, so bought 1,000 size 10 and 1,000 size 12 of the new version of the 94833.

I plan to tie some VIP poppers.
Bring your vice, tools and thread and join in the tying,. I will supply the heads/bodies, and more.
I just received an email from a mutual friend. Here is the email:
Steve McDonald here. I was Membership Chairman for a period in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’m still on the e-mail list, but I haven’t been an active member since probably 2004 or so. I left Houston at the end of 2001 and have only made it back infrequently. Tom Lyons and I were inseparable fishing buddies while we were both there and very active in the Club.
I got a call from Tom’s wife, Gay, yesterday that Tom had passed away on the 19th. I thought I should send a notice to the Club of his passing because there are probably several folks still around who would like to know. There are no services planned as yet, and I’m not sure if there will be anything in Texas as he has been living in Maryland close to family for the last few years. Tom had an aggressive form of cancer and passed only 5 days after the diagnosis. He was 83 years old.
Please keep me on the e-mail list, as I really enjoy reading about the ‘goings-on’ with the Club. I’m fishing for trout – the fresh water kind- now, but I miss the saltwater quite a bit. It’s great to see that the Club is still going strong.
Many kind regards,
Steve McDonald
