This is Passport to Texas

We’re on the threshold of spring, and all the outdoor adventure that comes with it. Let Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine help you chart a course. Editor, Louie Bond.

60—We get you ready for spring in so many ways this month at Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine.

Of course, we have our usual emphasis on fishing, and we have a great article by Larry Hodge about the new aquatic vegetation that’s being planted in a lot of reservoirs. You know, reservoirs are really just filled land; so they’re filled with dead vegetation, which is great for fish for awhile. But after awhile that all falls apart and fish need something to eat. So, we’re partnering with some different groups around the state to plant aquatic vegetation where it belongs in these reservoirs. It’s a great article.

We’ll also take a look at spring turkey hunting; if you need to get ready you need to take a look at this quiz we have about turkey hunting laws. There’s a little bit of humor and a whole lot of information by Ben Rehder.

We also have a “first timers” look,which I love our first timers stories. This time Parks and Wildlife news intern Amber Conrad goes out gar fishing with bow and arrow and has quite an interesting experience. So there’s a little something for everyone this month in Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine.

The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program Supports our series, and is funded by your purchase of fishing and hunting equipment and motorboat fuels.
