TP&W TV-June Highlights
Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Sport Fish Restoration Program
Take time this month to catch up with the Texas Parks and Wildlife television series. As series producer, Alan Fisher tells us, some of the segments this month will reel in anglers.
Coming up in June, we have a story called “Where to Wade.” You know, there are a lot of different ways to catch a fish on the coast. One of the most involved ways it to wade right out into the bay or surf.
(surf/water ambience) Wade fishing you can always go most times where a boat can’t. You can walk and get to ‘em pretty easy, and you ain’t got to worry about spooking ‘em. (reel sounds and water)Is it going to be a keeper? (water) Oooo. Oh, that’s a keeper trout right there. Uh huh. Look at that. Pretty fish. Pretty fish. (water)
Later in June we’ll visit Tyler state park—lovely patch of pine forest in Northeast Texas, just an hour and a half east of Dallas, but it feels much further away. Also in June, we’ll learn where striped bass come from.
Well, the end result is that we’re producing basically seven and a half million fish that would not be here otherwise because these fish, for the most part, do not reproduce naturally in the state of Texas.
We’ll wrap up June with a look at paddling trails which are preplanned routes that are making Texas waters more accessible to canoes and kayaks.
You can catch the Texas Parks and Wildlife television series on PBS stations statewide.
That’s our show…with support from the Sport Fish Restoration Program…reminding Texans that June 7 is Free Fishing Day in Texas… For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
