Texas Parks & Wildlife has scheduled several fishing events for youth and families in the month of January. Yesterday, I told you about the 6th Annual Youth Fishing Derby at Jasper Park Pond which will take place this Saturday.
In addition to that fishing derby, TPWD is also holding a youth angler clinic at Buescher State Park. This even will also take place on Saturday, January 13th, between 9 a.m and noon. This clinic is open to kids age 6-13 and will cover the basics of freshwater fishing. After completing all of the fishing stations, kids will be Certified Junior Anglers and will have the opportunity to put their newly learned skills in action! Rods, reels, and bait will be supplied. Kids should bring water, sunblock, hat, and insect repellent. For more information, call (512) 237-2241.
