City Magazine - Spring 2010 Issue

Welcome to the ninth issue of Where We Live. It’s a new decade and The City of Hurst is kicking it off in a big way. What do we have planned for 2010? For starters, construction is well underway on the new Hurst Conference Center. We’ve picked a logo, hired an executive director and are already booking events and conferences that will bring in an array of visitors to all of our shopping and dining destinations and, hopefully, keep them coming back for more. The conference center is scheduled to open in September. Between now and then Pipeline Road will be complete (late winter) and the Texas Department of Transportation will reopen Precinct Line Road in April, making access to all of your favorite establishments along that corridor more accessible and easier to get to than ever before.
And that’s not all; we’re planning all of your favorite events this spring and summer too, so be on the lookout for more information on events like EGGstravaganza and Hurst Stars and Stripes. City employees will also once again spend a day this spring helping Hurst citizens in need fix up their homes at our 12th Annual Employee Giving Day. Read the magazine. (pdf - 3 mb)

2010 Neighborhood Fishing Program - Catfish Stocking

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s Inland Fisheries Office in Fort Worth announces the upcoming stockings of trout into Chisholm Park in Hurst. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department‘s Inland Fisheries Division is in the seventh year of an urban fishing program research project. Trout are stocked throughout the winter, starting in December and ending March. Catfish are stocked starting in April and ending in October. A Freshwater Fishing License is Required For Anglers 17 Years Old and Older (unless born before Sept 1, 1930). Anglers are reminded that the Community Fishing Lake [CFL] daily bag limit is 5 fish/day. (Fish species identification chart) There is no minimum length regulation on channel catfish in CFL’s. Stocking dates are subject to change because of weather and fish availability.
Trout will be stocked in 2010 during the week of January 11, January 25, February 8, February 22, and March 8. Each stocking consists of approximately 237 fish. No stocking is done in August due to water quality.

Note: Beginning September 1, 2008, a new regulation was implemented on community fishing lakes which includes Chisholm Park. Anglers are allowed no more than 2 poles while fishing at these sights. This is to help prevent over harvest and increase the bank access for anglers.
