Tim Birdsong, the deputy director of Inland Fisheries Division at Texas Parks and Wildlife, has managed the Guadalupe Bass Restoration Initiative for many years. He points out how popular songs show the deep love for Texas streams where the bass is found. Still, he sees little awareness of the poor condition of many of the state's creeks and rivers. He urges Texans to work harder to protect the Frio, Comal and other iconic streams to ensure the future of the Guadalupe bass and all its related natural heritage.
