Whether you’re interested in learning about the native fish of Texas or just want to catch a few of your own, the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens is the place to go, enjoy, and bring your kids along for some family-friendly fun.  This center is one of five in the Lone Star State operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the only one that’s open to visitors.  Here you can learn about our reservoirs and cast a line of your own! Well worth a stop on The Texas Bucket List.
