OUTDOORS: Fly fishing exposition March 14
Learn to tie a fly, cast a fly and catch a fish all in one day during the annual Fly Fish Texas event at 9 a.m. on March 14 at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
Throughout the day, experienced fly-tiers will be demonstrating and teaching the concept in the Anglers Pavilion. This will be one-on-one instruction.
There also will be group instruction in beginners’ fly-tying in the Hart-Morris Convention Center classroom at noon. It’s all offered on a walk-up basis.
Beginning casting instruction will take place in the Conservation Center parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fly-fishing 101 will take place in Conservation Room B at 10 a.m. and learn about essential flies for Texas fresh water at 11 a.m.
Fly-fishing kayak style will be presented on the shore of the casting pond at 2 p.m.
Vendors will be displaying and selling fly-fishing gear, and there will be additional breakout seminars.
There will be presentations on fly-fishing the Brazos River at 3 p.m. and the history of the rainbow trout in North America. Other sessions will focus on caring for fly-fishing equipment, choosing a fly line and fishing the slam of BASS in southern rivers.
There will be do-it-yourself fly fishing for rainbow trout, sunfish and catfish in all of TFFC’s ponds and streams all day.
There will be a food service on site, or bring a picnic.
All Fly Fish Texas activities are free with regular paid admission to the center.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
