There is a fly fishing Club in Sherman Texas that their members fish Lake Texoma and the tail race for the stripers. [url "http://www.rrff.org/"]http://www.rrff.org/[/url] Try contacting them.
I took up fly fishing while I lived on Lake Texoma but there was no fly fishing club at that time. I was concentrating on learning FF for Colorado at the time. Did not have the casting ability required for stripers but I did buy a scott 8 weight rod and an Orvis large arbor reel that has been used once.
Also there is a fly fishing club in the Dallas metro area and some of it's members are familiar with what it takes.
[url "http://www.dallas-flyfishers.org/"]http://www.dallas-flyfishers.org/[/url] Some of them did that kind of thing.
Try asking at some of the fly shops in the Dallas metro area and Austin area. I had run across people that were familar with it.
What little I remember: The strippers are always there in the river. The river is more accessible for fly fishing from shore when the flows are low. I forget what low is. An eight weight rod is sufficient for the stripers. Floating lines with a sink tip would work. Having a boat you can anchor in the river can be adventageous but hardware slingers tend to "park" their boats too close to you.
