Free Family Fishing Day Event at Trinity River Refuge

Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge along with the Friends of Trinity River Refuge will be hosting the annual “Free Family Fishing Day” on Saturday, June 2, 2018 from 9:00am – 11:00am at the Champion Lake Public Use Area.  It is the one day in the state of Texas that anyone can fish or crab without a license on public waters.  We will have fishing poles and bait for those who need it along with experienced fishermen who can help children with baiting hooks and casting techniques.  All ages are invited to this free event.

Champion Lake is located at the end of CR 417, two miles east of FM 1409 in southern Liberty County. This is approximately 10 miles south of Dayton, TX from Hwy 90 or about six miles north of I-10 at the Cove exit (FM 565). Call the Refuge office at 936/336-9786 for more information. You may want to bring a lawn chair as seating is limited.
