TRWD Flyfest returns to the Clear Fork of the Trinity River on Saturday, March 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. As a product of TRWD’s Fish-the-Fort, the festival is a celebration of urban fishing and the TRWD will release 1,800 lbs. of rainbow trout in addition to the nearly 3,000 Texas native fish stocked annually.
There is something to hook everyone! The day will feature presentations, fly tying lessons, kids activities, live music, cooking demos from James Gaines of Reata Restaurant, food trucks, wine and craft beer and more. The festival’s main event will once again be the ORVIS Big Trout Contest where anglers compete to catch the biggest trout or the most fish in the time allotted. Open fishing for fly and bait fishing will also be welcomed in designated areas.
