The TRWD trout stocking season culminates with TRWD Flyfest, a celebration of urban fishing in and along the Clear Fork of the Trinity River in Fort Worth. The family-friendly festival will be held on March 13 from 9AM – 5PM. TRWD will release 1,800 lbs. of Rainbow Trout in addition to the nearly 3,000 Texas native fish stocked annually. Whether you are an experienced angler or have never touched a fly rod, this fun day will have something to hook everyone in the whole family.
The day will feature presentations from nationally-known experts that will cover a wide range of topics. Fly tying demonstrations will also be available throughout the day. Experts will host numerous hands-on demonstrations, including beginner casting, a women’s casting class and more casting advanced classes. 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.
TRWD Flyfest promises to appeal to the whole family with live music from local artist, Deric Merrill and kid’s activities including a mini stocked tank for fishing and a rock wall. James Gaines, Executive Chef, Reata Restaurant will be on hand providing cooking demonstrations. Food trucks, wine and craft beer and outdoor sports shopping vendors will make it fun for everyone!
TRWD Flyfest is a product of TRWD’s Fish-the-Fort which is an urban fishing initiative to restore the natural environments and the ecological communities that inhabit the Trinity River. For more information on TRWD Flyfest visit www.trwdflyfest.com
