The Wrangler® National Finals Rodeo® involves more than just the sold-out PRCA performances held this December in Arlington’s Globe Life Field.

The sport of fishing lends itself to maintaining a healthy separation. You don’t want your quarry to have too many hooks from which to choose. Luckily, you don’t have to travel a great distance to enjoy your socially distant pastime as Fort Worth’s waterways offer a number of options for you to catch a few fish while not catching anything else.
