The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center will kick off National Fishing and Boating Week by making a family fishing trip affordable with free admission for kids 12 and under plus free fishing for the whole family and free hot dogs and drinks from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 6.
Families may also win prizes in a catfishing tournament at TFFC's casting pond. Anglers may fish as individuals or as teams with an adult assisting a child. All tackle and bait are furnished.
In addition to fishing, visitors can walk the wetlands trail, see a diver hand feed fish; learn about the history of fishing in the freshwater fishing museum; shop for a souvenir in the Flat Creek Bait 'n Goods Gift Shop and watch the alligator feeding at 3:30 p.m.
National Fishing and Boating Week comes at the start of the summer vacation season and is designed to encourage families to spend time together on and around water. No fishing license is required anywhere in the state on the first Saturday in June, which is designated Free Sportfishing Day.
