SP GETAWAY -- FALCON SP: One of the premier bass fishing 
destinations in the United States is closer than you 
think ... we'll tell you where it is on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

This week's state park getaway takes us to Falcon Lake 
State Park, where fishing for bass tops a long list of 
recreational opportunities. Bryan Frazier is our guide.

:56 -- Falcon state park -- this time of year -- is really one of the 
premier bass fishing destinations in the United States. It's one 
of the first ones to be an indicator of the bass fishing season, if 
you will, as a lot of bass fishermen can note. And, where it is, 
right there on the international border ... it is a great destination, 
not just for the fishing ... there's also great birding ... .you get the 
subtropical species coming up from Mexico, and then a lot of 
the winter residents there ... the wildlife you're going to see is 
great at Falcon State Park. You've got this native habitat of the 
south Texas brush country, which is really what the habitat of 
the lake is ... one of the reasons it's such good fishing. But, it's 
just this beautiful south Texas scrub brush. There's a butterfly 
garden there that the volunteers helped build. You've got great 
camping, you've got some enclosed shelters there that are air 
conditioned. So, Falcon State Park, this time of year especially -- 
but really all year -- a great place by yourself, friends, family, 
check out Falcon State Park.
