Learn to fish at Riverside Park located 3 miles from town – 7330 FM 2668!

Riverside Park is offering Fishing 101 classes on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. 

“Fishing builds confidence, improves coordination, teaches patience, and encourages an appreciation of nature,” said Kelly Penewitt, Parks and Recreation Manager.  “Fishing 101 is great ways to introduce our youth to healthier lifestyles and decrease screen time – at least for a little while.”

Fishing 101 will teach the basics of casting techniques; equipment, knots and tackle assembly; proper fish handling; fish identification and habitat; fishing safety, ethics and regulations and stewardship of aquatic resources.   It is also a fish-on class that teaches casting techniques, baiting a line, different types of bait and much more.  This class will be hosted on the beach – so be prepared to get wet!

Classes are taught by certified TPWD Angler Instructors.
