    Rains County Eagle Fest
    This annual festival celebrates Rains County being the "Eagle Capital of Texas" - designated as such by the Texas Legislature in 1995 as part of an effort to protect and preserve the American Bald Eagle. Lake Fork, Lake Tawakoni and the surrounding areas are nesting and feeding grounds for bald eagles and over 260 other varieties and species of wild birds. The highlight of the festival is the bus and barge tours to the lake to see the bald eagles in their natural habitat. The festival venue includes bird and animal exhibits and programs, live entertainment and music, as well as educational speakers. Saturday's tours will be on Lake Fork. Rains County Eagle Fest is scheduled to include more than just chances to view the majestic birds in their natural habitat. The event will also feature animal encounters, live entertainment, boat tours, bus tours, vendors, food and much more.
    Eagle Fest will be held on Saturday January 19th, 2019 and will be at the campus of Rains Elementary School, 372 FM 3299 just off U.S. Highway 69, about two miles west of Emory. General admission is $5 per person, with children 12 and under admitted free.
    This year's Eagle Fest includes presentations from Last Chance Forever, the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center, Teaming With Wildlife and more; Aztec Dancers, snake encounters, bus and barge tours to Lake Fork.
    Barge Tours will be Saturday morning.

    Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 29)

    GOOD. Water Stained; 43 degrees; 1.75 feet below pool. Bass are fair suspending jerk baits, spinner baits, and square bill crankbaits around creek channels in 5-10 feet. Offshore bass bite is fair with Alabama rigs, spoons and dropshots in 17-22 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been as up and down as the weather and wind. With surface temperatures in the low 40s some crappie seem to be in shock. If you can get a day with light winds it seems the bite is a little better. If the winds are howling you may want to get some work done around the house or work on tackling that day. Downsizing baits and lines are helping to get a few more bites. Small minnows, small hand ties and small soft plastics are the key until we see the bite pick back up. Hold those baits super still just above crappie and they will either bite or swim off. If they swim off it’s time to find fish that will bite. Don’t spend too much time on one set of fish once the active bitters are caught. We are seeing huge numbers of fish as we cover water. Timber and brush in 20-62ft are holding fish in the mid lake and south areas. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
