TPWF FLY FISHING, 2: Texas is an undiscovered Mecca for 
fly-fishermen. We have details ahead on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Few people think of Texas when the topic of fly-
fishing comes up, unless you’re Alvin Dedeaux [DEE-
dough], that is.

03— Well, we’ve got some great fly-fishing opportunities here.

Alvin is a sought-after Texas fly-fishing guide. He’s 
partnered with TPWF, the nonprofit arm of TPWD to 
help recruit new members. Anyone who goes to 
WeWillNotBeTamed.org and becomes a new 
foundation member by April 12 will be entered in a 
drawing to win a half-day fly-fishing trip with Alvin. 

39— I guided for trout all over the Western US, and I think what we 
have here in Central Texas rivals a lot of that stuff. Especially the 
rivers. Because, as a lot of people know, our rivers are kind of an 
underutilized resource. We’ve got tons of really beautiful small 
streams with very little pressure and really aggressive, hungry fish. 
And I think it rivals anything anywhere—you know, it’s just different. 
On top of that, we have the Texas coast. And the inshore fisheries on 
the Texas coast are world-class for like casting for redfish and 
speckled trout. So Texas is really, I think, an undiscovered central 
Mecca for fly-fishermen.
