Passport to Texas ... from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Whether you're sight casting to a tailing redfish on the 
coast, or standing knee deep in the lower Guadalupe 
duping trout with your hand tied flies ... fly-fishing offers 
special joys and challenges. Share what you know with 
others; learn how when you attend a free fly fishing 
instructor workshop at Huntsville State Park on January 
21.

The fly-fishing instructor workshops are held to give fly-
fishermen some tools and some ideas on how to teach children 
- and adults -- about the sport. :10

Brenda Justice is aquatic education specialist at the 
Dickinson Marine Lab. The instructor workshop is open to 
anglers 17 and older. They will learn special skills with 
regard to teaching children.

We give them all the program tools and materials that they 
might need to work with kids - keeping it simple, keeping it fun 
and positive. And, for example, helping to educate them on how 
children learn, and giving them ideas of ways to make it fun. 
Because we have a lot of fly-fishermen and fishermen that know 
what they're doing, but they need some help to give them ideas 
how to teach it. So that's what the workshop it about. :23

The free workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. January 21. 
Participants should wear comfortable clothing and bring 
a sack lunch; reservations are required. There's more 
information in the calendar section of the Texas Parks 
and Wildlife web site.

That's our show ... made possible by the Sport Fish and 
Wildlife Restoration Program ... For Texas Parks and
