Purpose and Mission
To honor and glorify Jesus Christ by providing exemplary service, products, and information to every person who enters our doors and shares our waters.
To educate and equip future anglers to carry on the legacy of fly fishing. To be good stewards of our rivers and to make every effort possible to leave the environment better than we found it!
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. - John 7:38
Favorite Flies for Texas
Owner Chris Johnson's debut book brings together fifty essential fly patterns from local experts, built specifically for Texas water.
The Lone Star State offers an astonishing number of diverse fly-fishing opportunities, from stripers in freshwater lakes and redfish on the coast to bass, panfish, and even trout in the Texas Hill Country. In Favorite Flies for Texas, fly shop owner Chris Johnson shares 50 of the best fly patterns for the state as well as their histories, tips and tricks for fishing with them, and detailed recipes.
Fly Fish the Republic
As a local Texas fly shop, we do not overlook our native warmwater species. Through our own Fly Fishing the Republic® line of merchandise, we have independently raised funds for native fish conservation throughout the range of the old Republic of Texas. In 2025 alone, Living Waters orchestrated the first Guadalupe Bass Repatriation on Brushy Creek and fully funded the first Rio Grande Cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatus) genome project to make genetic data available for future scientific and conservation projects.
