A Message from the President

GRTU Winter 24 Chapter Meeting

Troutfest TX 25 is Almost Here!

We’re thrilled to announce that Troutfest TX 25 is just around the corner, and excitement is building! The Main Tent is officially sold out, and we’re gearing up for another unforgettable event. This year’s speaker lineup is nothing short of outstanding, headlined by Chris Wood, President & CEO of Trout Unlimited, as our banquet Keynote Speaker.

As always, our free daytime events on Saturday and Sunday offer something for everyone. The robust expo will showcase Guides, Fly Shops, Artists, Manufacturers, and Rod Builders from across the country. But that’s just the beginning! We’ve got a packed schedule of casting classes, kid-friendly activities, fantastic food, and craft beer that will delight attendees of all ages.

Don’t miss out: Banquet and Movie Night Tickets are still available but selling fast. These events are perennial favorites and always sell out quickly, so secure yours today!

November Chapter Meeting Recap
Last month’s Chapter Meeting and Board of Directors Election was a resounding success. We were delighted to welcome Judson Cole of Rio Anglers as our Guest Speaker. His timely presentation on fishing the Guadalupe River in the winter was the perfect kickoff to trout season here in Texas.

Get Involved with GRTU
Did you know that less than 3% of our members volunteer their time and talents with GRTU? As an all-volunteer organization, we rely on the dedication of this small but mighty group of “doers.” Thanks to their hard work, we’ve achieved high-level programs and incredible results. Imagine what we could accomplish with even more hands on deck! Please consider joining this incredible team and making a meaningful impact.

We can’t wait to see you at Troutfest TX 25 next month. Wishing you all a Happy New Year and tight lines in 2025!

Bill Marshall, GRTU President
