Where Can You Legally Fish in Texas: Public Rights to the Waters of Texas

Let me start off by saying, I am NOT a lawyer, I am NOT a game warden, and my words probably have ZERO legal authority in court. I am just an average Joe that has spent a ton of time reading up on where I legally can and cannot fish. This article does not substitute for legal advice. Finding fishing spots can be a hard thing to do. TFFF covered this in the article, Should You be Asking for Fishing Spots? And after reading that article, you decided to try and find some spots on your own in Texas. But, as you were looking for the "blue lines" on Google Earth, you began to wonder, "am I allowed to fish there?" Or maybe you decided to take your kayak down a creek to fish, but some landowner along the way threatened you, and told you that you have no right to be fishing there. What waters can you legally fish in Texas, and what are you legal rights? The truth is that the laws, and especially interpretations and understandings of these laws, can be pretty muddy and

Fall Bass On The Fly

In the outdoor community, cooling weather, changing leaves, and the heart of football season, often signal a switch from time on the water to time in the fields or woods. Fall is hunting season for many of those that enjoy the outdoors in Texas. Doves, deer, turkey, ducks, and more, all become the object of pursuit, and especially here in Texas. However, Fall can be, and should be, the time you really find time to get out on the water. In Texas, this time of year can be great for many species of fish, from Rio Grande Cichlids to Trout. But more than anything, the Fall is one of the best times of year to head out and catch Bass ! Fall is a time of transition, for the weather and the bass. The season starts with late summer patterns and begins the transition to winter fishing. Fall is also a great time to fish big! Here is Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing's guide to Fall Bass on the Fly.

Fish Spotlight: Bowfin

Fish Spotlight: Bowfin Known by a nearly a million names, the Bowfin may be considered a " trash-fish " by many, but their native existence in Texas is just about as cool as any other species here, and they deserve some respect! I must admit, I have never fished for Bowfin, nor have I been around while someone else has landed one. And, I knew very little about these fish before I started researching them for this Fish Spotlight . But I genuinely now think that these are some of the coolest fish here in Texas, and I will dedicate some time to target Bowfin in the future. Much of my research included information from Dr. Solomon David and a few dedicated Bowfin fly anglers, including Stavros Cotsoradis (the current Texas fly fishing record holder) and the Bowfin man himself, Danny Scarborough from Houston Fly Fishing Guide Services .
