Grab a fishing pole and bring the kids to the Youth Fishing Event for children. The first Saturday in June is designated as a Free Fishing Day by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), so everyone can come and have fun. No license is necessary.
The Josey Ranch Park Pond will be generously stocked with adult catfish. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the children who catch the longest and second longest fish in three age categories: 6 and under, 7–11, and 12-16 years of age. It is recommended that children bring their own equipment; however, loaner rods, reels, bait, and tackle will be provided to those who need them as supplies. There will be volunteers on-site to answer any fishing questions and to help educate the youth on baiting a hook and casting. Registration will take place the morning of the event; there is no preregistration.
