This is Passport to Texas

Fishing just got a lot easier thanks to a series of “how-to” videos you can find on YouTube from Texas Parks and Wildlife. Producer Whitney Bishop.

So, we developed a series of short Fishing 101 videos to give people the basic skills they need to go out fishing.

Never been fishing before? No problem. There are lots of resources to help you get started.

We even give you tips for fishing with kids—just some simple things that can really make or break a fishing trip.

All of these videos are on the TPW YouTube channel, as well as our website. They’re quick—two to three minute videos with captions…
