Rules and Regulations

Did you know you can fish without fishing license or stamps in Texas state parks? Just bring your fishing gear and family or friends to a state park, pay the park entry fee, and you're ready to wet some hooks.

Free fishing applies to fishing in rivers and creeks, from bank or pier.

State Bag (number of each type of fish) and length limits and other regulations still apply.

Where to Buy Bait

Our park store sells worms for fishing, and also local gas stations in Glen Rose do as well.
