Austin Chapter - February 2026 - Fly Fishing - New Braunfels, Texas

Join us for a relaxed and memorable fly fishing getaway with Rio Anglers on the beautiful Guadalupe River, targeting rainbow trout. This experience is designed for both new and experienced anglers.

The event includes a half-day guided raft trip, giving you the chance to fish prime water with expert guides, plus the option to walk and wade right outside the cabins at your own pace. We’ll be staying overnight at Rio Guadalupe Resort, located directly on the river, with convenient river access just steps from the cabin door.

Between fishing, there’s plenty of time to relax, enjoy the scenery, swap stories, and unwind riverside. Whether you’re here to learn, improve, or simply enjoy time on the water, this trip offers the perfect blend of guided fishing, flexibility, and comfort.
