FFF Gulf Coast Expo


Clint Jackson gave fly tying instruction in a different light, on the stage of the New Braunfels Civic Center. This weekend was the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) Gulf Coast Expo. There were dozens of programs and workshops, which included presentations by featured guest Chico Fernandez. It was like a family reunion. We saw friends from the Texas fly fishing community that we had not seen in a while. We made some new friends as well.

Our friend Rus Schwausch was at the expo. He had nearly as many new guide prospects as client prospects. His remote tent camp on the Alaska Peninsula is one of the most attractive destinations for guides, anglers, and adventurists. We speak from experience; the location there in Nakalilok Bay is EPIC in every way.
