Fishing for Walleye - 1:20
Lake Meredith, a 16,000-acre, canyon-type reservoir located northeast of Amarillo, was created when the Canadian River was impounded in 1965. This Panhandle lake is known nationwide as one of the South’s best walleye fisheries. Whether you’re looking for a trophy-sized female or a limit of smaller walleye for the fryer, spring is the right time to try this West Texas reservoir.

Javelina Homeland - 8:04
A new research project in South Texas is taking a closer look at the javelina, also known as the collared peccary.

Follow along as a group of researchers attempts to capture a “squadron” of javelinas for their study.

Making the Team - 14:37
The Texas Game Warden Dive Team responds to urgent situations across the state. A group of applicants compete for a coveted spot on the elite team by proving their physical strength and ability to be a good teammate.
