Cold Weather No Match for Fishers at Missouri City’s Trout Fest
Bundled up against the cold, some die-hard fishers didn’t let last weekend’s chilly weather stop them from venturing out to Trout Fest. They braved the wind to cast their lines at the annual event, which is held at American Legion Park, 4015 Lexington Blvd.
Ten-year-old Nathan Schaper of Missouri City was excited to catch two catfish after the trout proved a little too elusive.
“All the participants came prepared for the cold and learned some techniques for making any fishing trip an enjoyable experience,” said Buford Jurica, of the Sugar Land area Coastal Conservation Association, which sponsored the event with Missouri City.
In appreciation for their attendance despite the low temperatures, several participants received commemorative trophies.
