We are only taking reservations for the selected dates and spots are very limited! For these 7 days of every month we have put a package together for all anglers to take advantage of which includes a ReelFly visor and long sleeve tee shirt for 2013 salt water season! The rates will remain the same of $500/day for two anglers and will include lunch, water and necessary equipment, (gratuities and  fishing licenses are not included in price). Trips can be tailored to your needs/wants to fish for the all mighty Tarpon, Redfish, Tripletail, Speckled trout etc.  A typical days itinerary will be as follows: On the water by 5:30 a.m, out for Tarpon in the morning and Redfish on the flats during the afternoon hours and return to dock by 3:30-4:00 that afternoon. A GoPro camera will be mounted on the boat to capture your experience and the video footage can be purchased for an additional $50. If your interested in getting in on this package and having a ReelFly Saltwater trip this summer the open dates are on a FIRST COME - FIRST SERVE basis and are as follows: May 23-30th (24th booked) June 22-29th July 19-26th (July 20th booked) Aug 18-25th (18th booked) September 16-23 <img title="tarpon fishing" src="http://www.reelfly.net/im_images/1848727385P8130754.jpg" alt="port o connor tarpon" width="306" height="408" /><img title="port o connor redfish" src="http://www.reelfly.net/im_images/IMAG1088.jpg" alt="redfish" width="724" height="408" />   A $100 deposit is required to hold your date and your shirt and visor will be available for you the day of the trip.  Reserve your day on the saltwater soon before they're all taken!

We will be guiding all the major rivers and reservoirs in the north western/central corner of the state. If you've never experienced the fishing that Utah has to offer, you're definitely missing out! Many of the rivers have an estimated 8,000 trout per mile with all four trout species- brown, cut throat, brook and rainbows, to make for an exciting day of flyfishing! Salmon, grayling, pike and walleye are some other species we'll be on the hunt for there. The numerous bodies of water and mountain scenery provide a beautiful getaway with all sorts of outdoor activities to enjoy.  If you didn't get enough trout fishing in here in Texas, come visit us in Midway, Utah!  We'd love to have you!     <img title="provo river brown trout" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/430_518907561486322_455739333_n.jpg" alt="utah fly fishing" width="300" height="450" /> DON'T WORRY!  ReelFly's shop will remain open while we're away. As of April 15 we will be open weekends only through September. Our new summer hours will be Fri and Sat 8am-5pm and Sun 9am to 3pm.  In addition to Utah fishing, we will continue to run trips here in Texas. Saltwater fly fishing with Brent will also be on the agenda so you can still get your chance for Tarpon and Redfish with ReelFly.  We will offer select weeks throughout the summer on the saltwater, so dont miss your opportunity and call us to reserve your spot for the all mighty silver king and tailing reds in the flats!  Don't forget to make time for fly fishing the Llano, Colorado and San Marcos for large and small mouth. The bass are already turning on!  Be on the lookout cause we are going to take you where the ReelFly fishing is at!  We hope you'll join us! <img title="Middle Provo Utah" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/IMG_0536.jpg" alt="Middle Provo River " width="300" height="225" /> BOOK A BEAVERTAIL TRIP http://www.reelfly.net/news/book-a-beavertail-trip http://www.reelfly.net/rss/book-a-beavertail-trip fishing adventures Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:45:00 -0600 BOOK A TRIP on the Skiff  to fish the SALT for Redfish & Tarpon  at Port O'Connor  <img title="Saltwater Fly Fishing at POC" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/saltwater_skiff.jpg" alt="Texas Saltwater " width="250" height="250" /> <img title="Port O'Connor Reds on the fly!" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/P8050010.JPG" alt="Redfish on a Fly at POC" width="250" height="188" />  $400 for 6HR or $500 for a FULL DAY for 2 Anglers  OR on the UPPER GUAD for White/Sand bass, Small & Largemouth & Carp  <img title="Fly Fishing for Striper in Texas" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/striper_matt.jpg" alt="Striper on the Fly in Texas" width="250" height="188" /><img title="Upper Guad, White Bass & Striper on the Fly" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/upper_guad.jpg" alt="Upper Guad " width="250" height="250" /> $350 for a FULL DAY for 2 Anglers    Reserve for 2013 by April 1 and get a FREE ECO BOX with your reservations!  <img title="FREE ECOBOX with Trip!" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/ecoextremespeaker-940x400.jpg" alt="GRACE ECOBOX" width="400" height="170" /> CALL NOW to GET ON THE CALENDAR! 830 964-4823  830 515-7285 Eco Friendly Fly Fishing Products http://www.reelfly.net/news/eco-friendly-fly-fishing-products http://www.reelfly.net/rss/eco-friendly-fly-fishing-products fishing adventures Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:08:00 -0600 <img title="loonoutdoors.com" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/loon_photo.jpg" alt="Loon Outdoors" width="400" height="190" /> WATCH THESE    for tips for keeping your flies riding high, drying them and info on Loon's eco friendly floatants as well as alternatives for leaded splitshots.  <iframe width="640" height="360" src="<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6vhVK53Zblw?feature=player_detailpage" height="300" width="350" frameborder="0"></iframe>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/leKtVJvEF20?feature=player_detailpage" height="300" width="350" frameborder="0"></iframe>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>   <img title="loonoutdoors.com" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/loon_logo.jpg" alt="loon logo" width="209" height="60" />As always you can find these and other great products at our fly shop!  Call or come by! <img src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/outside.JPG" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> Fish Free February http://www.reelfly.net/news/fish-free-february http://www.reelfly.net/rss/fish-free-february fishing adventures Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:40:00 -0600 <img title="Fish Free February" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/calendar.JPG" alt="Fish Free February" width="300" height="400" /> February is filling up already!  A few weekends are still available and weekdays are great for those who want to avoid the crowds so hurry and make your reservations!  White bass are starting to run up river and the trout fishing is getting better every day!  We can accommodate any experience level from new to pro and any age or gender!  Equipment and flies are supplied, not to mention our guides are knowledgeable and friendly!  A good time is definitely in store and fish catching opportunities are endless!  WIN A FREE GUIDED TRIP!    Shop ReelFly during February, spend just $25.00 and you'll be entered for a chance to win a FREE guided trip on the Guadalupe River.  Winner will be announced on Feb 28th and may reserve a half day fishing trip for 2 anglers!  One entry per person per day.   New products are arriving all the time.

Today was the first day T.P.W.D opened the DRAP system and calls came flooding in trying to make reservations.  I urge anyone interested in doing this amazing trip to BOOK NOW in order to allow enough time to arrange all the logistics involved.  <img title="devils river fishing" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/brentonlog.jpg" alt="devils river fishing" width="350" height="234" /> This trip is truly amazing and a must-do for any serious angler wanting to fill their bucket list of fishing adventures.  The smallie i'm holding here is the AVERAGE size fish you will find on this river and there are some even bigger pigs waiting for you. <img title="devils river tents" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/P2290164.JPG" alt="devils river accomadations" width="350" height="263" /> <img title="devils river" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/devils_river_048.JPG" alt="devils river scenery" width="351" height="263" /> Devils River Trips http://www.reelfly.net/news/devils-river-trips http://www.reelfly.net/rss/devils-river-trips fishing adventures Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:09:00 -0600 <img style="float: left;" title="devils river fishing" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/P3050211.JPG" alt="devils river trips" width="400" height="300" />The time has come to reserve your trip on the sacred Devils River.  This year, we expect to arrange 5-7 trips from March to May and it's extremely important that reservations are made within the next couple of weeks. As of the new year, TPWD is issuing daily permits in an effort to limit entrance to individuals who visit.  Just 12 will be assigned each day and several other regulations are in place that will need to be addressed well ahead of time to ensure all the "i"'s are dotted and "T"'s are crossed.  As of right now there are NO Saturdays available for access during the month of April. With all this said, on to the good stuff.... The Devils River is truly marvelous! If the pristine scenery doesn't capture your attention, then the monster Bass cruising the crystal clear waters will surely do the trick! This year we will be offering trips at $900 per person (min of 4ppl, and max of 6) to include two full days of fishing within a 15 mile stretch.  All permits, camping supplies, meals, shuttling and one night of lodging will be provided. Video footage of the excursion can be purchased as well.  Itinerary: Upon arrival to the Comstock area you will check in to your comfortable accomodations. There, you will spend the evening resting up and planning for the big adventure.  The group will depart the morning after and launch at an undisclosed location to float and fish the entire day before arriving at camp on the rivers edge.  Once there, a lodge tent with cots, tables and chairs will be set up along the rugged banks of the Devils River, to reflect on the day's events and catches over dinner. The next morning following breakfast, we will head out on the second leg of the journey, floating and fishing the majestic waters until sunset concluding another ReelFly Fishing adventure.    WARNING: This trip is not for the weary, disabled or faint of heart. If you are a diehard fisherman, this river is calling for you! Dry Fly Bite http://www.reelfly.net/news/dry-fly-bite http://www.reelfly.net/rss/dry-fly-bite fishing adventures Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:54:00 -0600   <img title="Kayla" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/brent.JPG" alt="Guadalupe River Fishing Report" width="200" height="150" />  Fishing right now is excellent! The last four days have been non-stop dry fly action and the water clarity is perfect for sight-casting to big cruising Rainbow Trout.  Above is first time fly fisher-woman Kayla, who landed her first trout on a stimulator pattern yesterday and fought several more throughout the afternoon.  We have another stocking coming VERY soon and fishing will continue to get better and better, but now is the time for dries and emergers!  Todays Pro Tip:  Be sure and check your fly line to make sure you have it dressed and cleaned so your line will ride up on top of the water, rather than below the surface; as this will cause fish to see your line and turn off off your fly.  Fish are being very skittish right now because of the water clarity, so when drifting nymphs consider using clear, white, or yellow strike indicators and flourocarbon leaders/ tippet. White Bass season is just around the corner and slots are filling fast, so call and reserve your spot soon.  The end of January or the first part of February should be excellent!  This year we will be using the Beavertail to get you on the action which will undoubately be awesome in the upcoming weeks!  The next few months offer so many opportunities for anglers, so get off the couch...or out of the office and come take a ReelFly Fishing Advenure with us! <img src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/brent2.JPG" alt="" width="320" height="240" /> Guadalupe Fishing report http://www.reelfly.net/news/guadalupe-fishing-report http://www.reelfly.net/rss/guadalupe-fishing-report fishing adventures Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:37:00 -0600 The Guadalupe River fishing right now is excellent!!! We have so many BIG fish in the river and conditions are great despite the low water flows.  Ryan and I have been on the river guiding almost every day this season and the fishing has only been getting better! We have only a day or two open for December and January is booking fast! We can accomodate groups up to 6 ppl with help from Judson with Hell and Back Outfitters and we hope to continue to be on the river daily and take you where the fishing is best.....away from the crowds. The fly shop is almost fully stocked and we are expanding our product lines everyday and still continue to sell 99cent trout flies.  Stop by the shop and take a look around, have a Troutslayer beer (we keep on tap) or call us for your next ReelFly Fishing Adventure!

Now, the fish appear to have moved off the redds (spawning beds) and are beginning to spread out some. This week has been tough with the full moon, cypress needle litter and barometric pressure, but......it will get much better VERY soon! Patterns that have been working well for us include, yellow sucker spawn egg, sparkle blood worms for attractor patterns and scuds size 20 in olive & tan, Rainbow Warriors and lightning bugs for droppers have been the ticket.  Because the water is so clear, fluorocarbon tippet and white or clear indicators may help you get more bites.....Remember that the fish have been tasting lately and you need to have the hammer cocked when the indicator moves, or you will spend the day frustrated and missing fish.   <img title="male trout on the guad" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/trout_fishing_pic_for_news.jpg" alt="guadalupe trout" width="500" height="375" />   Canyon Lake is fishing good right now for Crappie and Stripers, structure for crappie and drop offs with full sinking lines for stripers.   Port O' Connor Is awesome right now!  The flats are full of big healthy Redfish and the water is crystal clear for sightcasting to the fish.  Be aware however, that the water is so clear that the fish can also see you well ahead of them and spook easily in the thin, clear water.  Remember to wear colors that help you blend in with the water or sky, the AQUA vanish with skyward camouflage would be a good choice for anglers headed to the salt right now. We fished the flats this weekend and despite the great conditions, we found the fishing to be tough due to the Redfish's lack of appetite. We did manage to land a few though and found white baitfish and shrimp patterns to produce. Nothing top water or gold were getting a look. <img style="margin: 2px; border: 2px solid black;" title="poc fly fishing" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/ashley_redfish.jpg" alt="ashley redfish" width="300" height="400" /> Fishpond Arrivals http://www.reelfly.net/news/fishpond-arrivals http://www.reelfly.net/rss/fishpond-arrivals fishing adventures Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:34:00 -0600 <img title="Fishpond new arrivals" src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/fishpond.jpg" alt="Guadalupe River Fly Shop Fishpond Inventory" width="200" height="150" /> The new Westwater collection from Fishpond is in and its awesome!

If you’re looking to get away this summer to an excellent place for some amazing fishing, give us a call and let us help you plan your trip.  We can customize your trip with lodging, gear and of course fishing to fit your needs and get you in the action!  Full day trips are $500 for two anglers and include lunch, gear, flies and memories that will last a lifetime!

We floated the Devils River for two days followed by a one day float trip on the south Llano with great success!  Despite the harsh head winds upward of 35mph and the full moon curse we managed to land several good size fish on the fly.  ReelFly Fishing Adventures is now offering overnight camping trips on some excellent rivers for very affordable prices.  For overnight trips we have a 8 person lodge type tent that easily sleeps your group on comfortable cots.  For overnight trips we require four anglers and use both drift boats to accomodat 4ppl to two full days of guided fishing on the Colorado River, Llano River and Devils River.  I would highly recommend the Redington Predator rod for your spring season, the rod easily cast big flies through 30mph + winds with amazing accuracy.  The Predator is now my favorite bass rod and you can pick this affordable rod up at our fly shop in Sattler.  Call now to reserve your spot for the spring and summer months!  Fishing is awesome now.....and getting even better by the day! <img src="http://reelfly.net/im_images/P3050222.JPG" alt="Devils River samllmouth" width="300" height="400" />  4 person overnight camping/ fishing trip prices are as follows: Colorado River $425.00 per person, 4 person minimum. (includes any equipment needed, two full days guided fishing, all meals and water.  Each angler will have their own cot provided in a large tent with plenty of room for gear storage. Llano River $450.00 per person, 4 person minimum. (includes any equipment needed, two full days guided fishing, all meals and water.  Each angler will have their own cot provided in a large tent with plenty of room for gear storage.
