NATURE -- HOOK, LINE AND SINKER: Fishing brings people 
closer to nature. 06 [" ... facilitate that connection."] Details ahead 
on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

06 -- We think it's a valuable thing for people to be connected 
with fishing and the outdoors, and we'd like to facilitate that 
connection.

Aquatic education training specialist, Caleb Harris, says 
the neighborhood fishin' program is one of many ways 
TPW facilitates that connection between people and 
nature.

05 -- Every metropolitan center has a neighborhood fihin' pond. 
And all those locations are on the [TPW] website.

He's referring to the TPW website. This time of year, the 
inland fisheries division stocks neighborhood fishin' 
ponds with rainbow trout. Harris says although spending 
time with family and friends catching fish is fun, 
something deeper takes place among those who connect 
with the outdoors.
 
09 -- When people are connected to the outdoors in a way that 
they enjoy it - like fishing - they become stewards of it. They 
want to protect it. Conserve it. Be good users of it.

Find places to fish, as well as tackle loaner locations, 
learn to fish classes, and information on various species 
of fish when you log onto the Texas Parks and Wildlife 
website.

This project and are show is funded in part by a grant 
from the Sport Fish Restoration Program.
