Senior Living residents fished for 600 pounds of Channel Catfish during the two-day event which continued on Friday. Residents and staff were treated to a fish fry to celebrate the event. The fish were provided by Larry’s Fish Farm in Giddings. Photo by Andy Sharp.

Wildlife stocked the pond with 1225 rainbow trout for this free event. Originally scheduled for a morning time, the event was moved to the afternoon because of cold weather. Temperatures did reach into the low-mid 40s by mid-afternoon, but it was still a brisk day. Photo by Andy Sharp.
