ggmiller,

The folks on the Red River Fly Fishers site can tell you about fy fishig Lake Texoma and its tailrace. They may also have information about the Red River just north of Wichita Falls.

You might also find information on the Texas Fishing Forum. It has a forum dedicated to Freshwater Fly Fishing. Someone mentioned the Texas Fly Report already. There are people from all over Texas on these two forums, and they are very active.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife site is important. It has information about fishing regulations, fishing licenses, trout stockings (Yes, they stock trout in Texas), lakes, rivers, and parks.

A little north of you on Hwy 44 is the Washita National Wildlife Refuge. Several small lakes that you can get to on a short hike.

And yep, it is hot here during the summer, but you have a nice long fishing season from fall through spring. If you wet wade in the summer or fish in the early morning, it can be tollerable.

Regards, and a big Texas welcome,
Tracy
