Bayou City: An Anglers ParadiseThe fourth-largest city in the U.S. has a secret hiding in plain sight: All that water means its a fabulous place for fly fishing. Travel no further than to the citys concrete flats to stalk carp with Houstons iconic skyline as a backdrop. Just outside the metro area, wade in the secluded spring-fed waters of the Pineywoods to find spotted bass, largemouth bass, and a variety of panfish. Launch a canoe or kayak in nearby lakes and backwaters to search for gar and bowfin. Add some adventure with a trip to Village Creek, a fascinating biozone where bass and catfish thrive along with four varieties of carnivorous plants and 35 species of orchids.
