Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Isn't it time you treated yourself to a day of fishing? If 
you can't get away just now, then the next best thing is to 
read about it in the June issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine. Managing editor, Charles Lohrmann.

June is a very good month to go fishing in Texas. And we have 
two articles to help get people started. One is called saltwater 
on a shoestring, and it explains some of the ins and outs of 
getting started fishing along the coast - both off the jetties 
and then, say, in a kayak or wade fishing. It makes it clear 
that you don't have to spend a mint on gear. It can be a 
weekend trip that's fairly easy for anyone. And then another 
article is about the best state parks for fishing. And this 
covers the entire state. And one thing to remember is that 
there are no fishing licenses required in state parks. So, you 
can essentially fish for free. For the urban readers, we have an 
interesting article on owl spotting - urban owls particularly. 
And it's a great family activity and you can go out with kids at 
night - in a lot of the parks and neighborhoods in most cities 
in Texas. And it's a great way to get youngsters started 
birding early. :56
