December 19, 2013he East Texas Woods and Waters Foundation (ETWWF) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will host two special fishing events in January 2014. Two thousand rainbow trout will be stocked into The Nature Center pond to provide a free fishing opportunity for area youth and their adult fishing mentors. Event dates areJanuary 4 and 11, 2014, from8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine.
Adult mentors should bring all equipment and bait necessary for fishing (see recommended equipment below). A limited amount of fishing equipment (and bait) will be on hand for those who cannot bring their own on a first-come—first-served basis. Adult mentors do not need to be experienced anglers. TPWD staff will be on hand to assist.
“Anglers will have the choice of releasing their catch or keeping up to a limit of five fish per person to take home,” said Craig Bonds, East Texas Regional Fisheries Director. “We also have fish-cleaning facilities courtesy of the East Texas Woods and Waters Foundation, and we will offer fish-cleaning demonstrations.”
If you are a mom, dad, neighbor, grandparent, big brother, big sister, etc., and know kids who want to go fishing, this is a chance to make some great memories and introduce a youngster to the wonderful sport of fishing. Adults who attend these events must bring at least one child and mentor them while fishing. So round up your little fishing buddy and bring them out to The Nature Center for a great time!
