Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

By now, most school aged children in Texas are enjoying time off from the classroom, but still yearn to learn new skills. Texas Parks and Wildlife TV Series Producer, Don Cash tells us about segments airing in June that can help keep young minds and bodies engaged.

The Take Me Fishing series has ten segments to it, and all of them can be seen on our Life’s Better Outside dot org website now. Tying in with fishing, we also hit four state parks where you can go fishing; and one of those is Atlanta State Park up in northeast Texas. .

So, if you’re looking to do a little fishing this summer, we have you covered on the television show.

Okay, so what are we supposed to say? Look out there and talk to him. Here fishy, fishy, fishy.
