Can I keep what I catch?
frequently
asked
We practice catch and release. The goal is learning the art of fly fishing, not a meat haul.
Our primary waterway is BA Steinhagen Reservoir (Dam B) and corresponding Neches and Angelina River systems above Town Bluff Dam.
Where do you fish?
What about the Trinity River?
Questions
Do you only fly fish?
Yes. Although conventional fishing is more popular in the area, our desire is to teach others who are interested in learning the craft of fly fishing.
The Trinity River can be phenomenal under the right conditions for Gar, Freshwater Drum, and White Bass. If this interests you, contact Matthew to discuss further details.
Large mouth bass is our most popular request, but other species are abundant in the area as well.

There are public restrooms inside Martin Dies Jr. State Park entrance, but this is some distance from where we launch. We will be a long way from restrooms when we are fishing.
Is there anywhere to go to the bathroom?

I’ve heard there are alligators in the area?
Yes!!!
