Where to Wade
Grab a pole and start wading! It's a style of fishing few try, yet some anglers say it's the only way to go. Wade fishing not only puts you right where the action is, but the experts say you can catch more and bigger fish.

Producer’s Favorites: Epitaph
Video producer Ron Kabele worked on the Texas Parks & Wildlife television show for 23 years. As part of the show’s thirtieth anniversary, Ron introduces us to an inspiring character, Geraldine Watson. As a plant ecologist and Ranger for the National Park Service, Geraldine played a pivotal role in the creation of Big Thicket National Preserve. She was feisty and combative, passionate and self-sacrificing. Even after she retired, Geraldine spent her time and energy restoring a remnant of the beautiful virgin forests of her childhood.
