TRWD Flyfest, an annual celebration of urban trout fishing, will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 12. This family-friendly event will take place in and along the Clear Fork of the Trinity in southwest Fort Worth. Admission is free.
To create an optimal fishing experience for anglers, the Tarrant Regional Water District will stock the river with 1,800 pounds of rainbow trout before the event just north of Bryant Irvin Road.
Nationally known fly fishing experts will be on hand throughout the day to help patrons learn about the many facets of fly fishing. Two of the event’s biggest attractions are the Orvis Big Trout Contest and the Coffee & Caddis Fly Tying Area. Anglers will compete in the contest to catch the biggest trout or the most fish in the time allotted. Patrons can also learn new tricks and methods from professional fly tiers. Open fishing for fly and bait fishing will also be available in designated areas.
The event will also feature live music from local band Chattahoochee Music and many children’s activities, including a mini stocked tank for fishing and a rock climbing wall. Local chef Stefon Rishel, from the Trident Restaurant Group, will provide cooking demonstrations. Food trucks, wine and craft beer and many outdoor vendors will make it a fun day for everyone.
Parking will be available for $5 at the River Park Trailhead, 3100 Bryant Irvin Road. View a parking map and other important event information.
