Livingston Lake/Trinity River

[AKRUEBBE]

Anyone do any fishing on Livingston Lake/Trinity River in Livingston, Texas? Will be spending two weeks there starting August 25th. Looking to do some fly fishing.

Nope but hope you have a great time.

Well, I would fish there for the enjoyment, but I wouldn't eat any of them. The Trinity years back was very polluted, now not so bad but I still wouldn't eat any of them. ~CA
