Get ready for a family-friendly day of fly fishing, food, wine and craft beer along the Clear Fork of the Trinity River.
The Tarrant Regional Water District is partnering with Fort Worth's urban angling community to deliver the TRWD Flyfest.
Anyone can attend this free event whether you have experience or not. Local top anglers along with Frank Smethurst, who is the host of the Trout Unlimited TV show “On the Rise,” will be giving a range of presentations on fly fishing. Lessons will be available throughout the day.
Do you think you have the skills to win a contest? Three contests will be held that day. One of the contests is the Big Trout Contest where anglers will compete to catch the biggest trout or the most fish in a given time.
The family-friendly event will have something for everyone. Along with craft beer, wine and food trucks, the TRWD Flyfest will have live music, face painters, kid fish tank, a rock climbing wall and open fishing for both rod and fly anglers.
The TRWD Flyfest will be held on March 12. It's a free event open to everyone. More information can be found by visiting www.trwdflyfest.com.
