TPW MAGAZINE -- APRIL PREVIEW: Fishing is the name of the 
game this month in Texas Parks and Wildlife 
Magazine ... we have details...on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

When the Texas Parks and Wildlife department saw that 
the number of anglers in the state decline, it took action. 
Find out what they did in the April issue of Texas Parks 
and Wildlife magazine. Managing Editor, Louie Bond.

Mark Twain once said, 'Everybody talks about the weather, but 
nobody does anything about it.' And that might have been an 
apt description of what was happening in Texas with the 
reduced number of anglers. But Texas Parks and Wildlife 
decided to get out there and do something about it. And so 
they started this neighborhood fishing program, and there's 
about twelve ponds in neighborhood parks, and they get 
stocked every two weeks with fish. It's a great program that's 
had some really good success, particularly in getting urban 
youth out, and teaching them to fish. They've never experience 
it. And, of course, once they do -- they're hooked! They're trying 
to grow it every year; they're hoping to get up to twenty ponds 
that they're doing the restocking. Of course, it's expensive, but 
they are finding some partners, and it's really a tremendously 
successful program. And also in this issue, if you're not a 
beginner fisher, and not interested in the neighborhood fishing, 
our expert photographer, writer and angler -- Larry Bozka -- 
shares some stories and some of his favorite fish he catches out 
in the Gulf. So, it's all about fishing in April for us. :57

Thanks, Louie. The April issue of Texas Parks and 
Wildlife magazine is on newsstands now.
