What regulations cover fishing in Authority lakes and the river?

by The Brazos River Authority

Fishing is allowed in these areas, though under Texas state law a fishing license is required to fish in public waters. There are exceptions to this requirement however. Those younger than 17, whether Texas residents or non-residents, are exempt. Also, Texas residents born before Sept. 1, 1930 are exempt from license requirements.

Texas residents, 65 and older that were born after Sept. 1, 1930 may buy a Senior Resident Fishing License All visitors to Texas state parks can fish without a license. The only such location at an Authority lake is Possum Kingdom State Park.  For more information about fishing regulations in Texas, go to the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife Web site.

About us

The Brazos River Authority was created by the Texas Legislature in 1929 as the first state agency in the country with the purpose of developing and managing the water resources of an entire river basin. Today, the Authority develops and distributes water supplies, provides water and wastewater treatment, monitors water quality, and pursues water conservation through public education programs. Although the Authority is an agency of the state, it does not levy or collect taxes and is entirely self-supporting.

 

The information provided on this site is intended as background on water within the Brazos River basin. There should be no expectation that this information is all encompassing, complete or in any way examines every aspect of this very complex natural resource. 

 

We invite you to post comments and expect they will be made in good taste. The Authority reserves the right to reject or remove any comment that is not constructive in the education of the general public on issues regarding water in the Brazos basin.
