Troutfest TX 26
Mend the River

GRTU’s Troutfest TX is the largest event of its kind in Texas and brings out a crowd of over 4,000 people interested in fly fishing and preserving and protecting cold water fisheries. For 2026, we’re reimagining Troutfest as “Mend the River,” a focused one-day event dedicated to supporting our Guadalupe River community’s recovery from the devastating July floods.
