Outdoor Texas Camps

A mixed bag here at Lake Bastrop with Guides and Capt. Bob Jenkins…Thanks For always putting our Campers on Fish, sharing some of your tips and secrets, and always being a good example to our Young Men!!!

This morning started off great, then storms rolled in and chased the boys off the water, but as soon as the storms passed the Guides and boys got after it again and finished STRONG!!!

Campers at our 2nd week of Bass Fishing & Fly Fishing Camp are working the rods and reels with close to 200 fish caught each of the first 2 days with , , and Capt. Bob Jenkins . Keep it up Boys!!!

Every week at Outdoor Texas Camps the Staff recognizes 3 Campers that stand out just a little bit more than the rest. It has very little to do with skills, or how many times they hit the bullseye, or how many/big the fish were that they caught. We look for Character, Integrity and qualities that bring their Groups together and help improve the Camp Experience for ALL. Last week the 3 young men that the Staff chose were Declan as our Camper with the Best Attitude; Jackson as our Most Improved Camper; and James as our Camper of the Week. Congratulations, Men and Thank You for helping to make last week an Awesome Experience for EVERYONE!!!

The last day of guided fishing started off strong and got stronger…until the much needed thunder storms hit. It’s been a GREAT week of fishing with , , , and Capt. Anthony Skouby. Thanks for all the valuable fishing tips, fishing wisdom and laughs you shared with our Campers. Tight lines, Guys!!!

These boys were rippin some lips this morning reeling in 34, and most of them reel dandies with Guide, Ty Stanley of .

Give a man a Fly and he’ll fish for a day, teach a man how to tie his own Flies with and he’ll FlyFish for the rest of his life!!!

Hard to believe this isn’t a pic of the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota, or a glacier carved lake in Canada, but GOD treated us to a picture perfect sunset right here in Central Texas on Lake Bastrop.

Noodling for Catfish has made internet superstars of many over the years, but how about Noodling for Buffalo Fish and Carp😳!!! These Campers had fun stalking these leviathans yesterday during their afternoon break. Let’s make them famous…how many LIKES, SHARES and New FOLLOWERS can we get!!!

See the Fish…BE The Fish. If you can’t beat em, join em!!!

Fly Tying at our Bass Fishing & Fly Fishing Camps with our fly tying vises is one of the Campers FAVORITE Activities, and it’s inside out of the heat. And, with Mr.Robert’s (this is his 16th year with Outdoor Texas Camps) background in Fresh Water Fisheries and passion for Fly Fishing and Fly Tying, the Campers could not have a better Instructor. Thank You, Robert!!!

What a difference a day makes!!! The 2024 Bass Fishing & Fly Fishing Camps got off to a slow start yesterday with 25mph winds, Thanks to Beryl, but this morning is GORGEOUS and pics of fish from and and and Capt.

Competition day here at Outdoor Texas Camps is almost finished! Our campers have been showing their skills they have obtained throughout the week to compete against fellow groups. Not only does competition bring all the techniques learned into our activities, but teamwork and support is greatly encouraged as well!

Tomorrow is our competition day here at Outdoor Texas Camps at ! We are super excited to see the improvements our campers have made in the various activities such as rifle, archery and shotgun.

At Outdoor Texas Camps, our campers are taught and demonstrate the process of scoring an animal from a hunt, or survival skills such as starting a fire when uncertain situations occur.

After a thunderstorm and 55mph winds downed power lines, leaving us without power for 4 hours, the skies cleared and these Campers celebrated with dinner out by the fire pit before heading for the shotgun range.

When our campers are not on the range, shooting arrows, or catching fish, they are always coming together as a group and meeting each other! At Outdoor Texas Camps we strive to build friendships that are born and developed during camp, and last a lifetime.

Our campers are learning essential skills and knowledge on responsible handgun use and safety at Outdoor Texas Camps. Proud to see them gaining confidence and respect for firearm handling. In addition, they are practicing on our newly acquired “Race Pistols” from !

Our campers are diving into the art of fly tying, embracing patience and precision to craft the perfect fly for the catch of a lifetime. OTC campers will learn and go home with the knowledge to tie their own flys, as well as learn what each fly does and how fish react!

Today our campers are getting introduced to the world of competition shooting with our “Race Rifles” graciously provided by .usa .official and ! Although competition is the name of the game with these types of fi****ms, but safety, stance, and techniques are all key factors in successfully executing down range.

Campers at Outdoor Texas Camps are hitting their mark at the shotgun range today, showing impressive skills and focus. From stance and firearm placement, to hitting the clay pigeon. We cannot wait to see our campers develop their skills throughout the week!

Our week here at Outdoor Texas Camps has started with a full swing! Campers are learning fishing techniques, as well as how to fly cast using a hula hoop to help control where the fly lands.

The boys hunting and fishing camp session II is underway here at Outdoor Texas Camps! Our instructors are excited to bring a week full of knowledge and experiences to our campers that will build various techniques for fi****ms and fishing. Stay tuned to see what we have in store this week!

Today we wrapped up the first session of our boys hunting and fishing here at Outdoor Texas Camps at ! It was a fantastic week, and our campers went home with new experiences, friendships, and knowledge. Thank you again for all of the families and staff for making these camps possible!

We have more one half to go for our competition day here at Outdoor Texas Camps! What a great week it has been. From learning different techniques for fi****ms, archery, fishing, and fly tying, to building friendships, team-work, and the experiences that came along with them.
