No matter what your outdoor interest, chances are you'll 
find it at Choke Canyon SP. Bryan Frazier is our guide.

:66 -- Choke Canyon state park -- a great place to go in terms of 
catfish fishing, which turns on a little later in the spring,. 
Crappie fishing, white bass ... Choke Canyon has just risen in the 
ranks, if you will, in the fishing world as a place to go to really 
catch lots of different kinds of fish. But, right now, bass 
fishermen, that's one of their hot spots to stop and visit on the 
way. A lot of tournament fishermen show up there. Another 
thing about Choke Canyon is, it's a complete park from a 
recreational standpoint. You've got hike and bike trails, you've 
got a gymnasium, you've got screen shelters that have been 
enclosed with air conditioning, you've got lots of different 
facilities. A group facility, fish cleaning stations -- so many 
different things, depending on what your needs are. Hookups 
for RVs are good there, with 50 amp service. It's far enough 
south -- you've got great birding -- even some of the things like 
the green jays and chachalacas ... and the wildlife viewing is 
unmatched. Whether you're looking for deer, or turkeys or 
javalina -- they're oftentimes viewable right from the park road 
in your vehicle. A great place to take the kids to get them 
familiar with nature. So,. Choke Canyon is definitely a place I 
recommend this time of year to people to visit.
