My favorite place is on the Brazos below Lake Whitney. Locally my favorite DFW place is the Fort Worth Nature Center.
Congratulations on getting your first kayak! Hope to see you on the water soon!

The Trinity River in Fort Worth is always fun. Decent fish with a lot of fight in them. I am sure Dallas has some good areas on the river as well though.

Is this your very first time out in a kayak? What's your favorite place to bank fish that you always wanted to get better access? How about start there. Brazos is a beautiful place with great fishing but it might have some hazards for a first time out. If they start producing power it can make it hard for the most experienced paddler to get back up stream. Best to start slow and easy. Fish your local pond if they allow access. Look on here for groups going out and tag along. Best way to make a maiden voyage awesome is to keep it safe and simple.

I got my kayak at the beginning of the year. My first time out was to a place that had very easy access. It had a ramp that you could pull your vehicle down and unload right there. It made adjusting to the kayak really easy and I didn't have to focus so much on making sure the launch went smooth. I recommend that no matter where you go, choose something with easy access and don't take all your tackle. If you dump it over, you'll lose anything not tied down.
One last thing, don't go on a day that has 20+MPH wind. Choose a day with less wind like 5-10. You don't want to have to focus on big waves while trying to adjust to the stability of a kayak.
That's my 2cents

This, but Todd was right and I also recommend your first time down there, that you go with someone who knows the river. I'm down there a lot, so give me a holler if you ever want to try it; there's a good chance I was gonna hit the river anyway.

Thanks for all the advice and info guys . I believe I'm going to try White Rock creek this Saturday since the weather is supposed to be so good and White Rock is just a few miles from me . I've always wanted to see how far up that creek I could go and now I have a paddle ! I believe I will try to target some nice panfish but will take along a bait caster in case I see some nice bass areas.

Well only ended up catching one tiny sunfish and was not able to go up the creek as far as I wanted due to a tree blocking whole creek . I thought of trying to get over it but being so new to kayaking I know I would have fallen in or turned the kayak over . One thing I really enjoyed was the friendliness of other kayakers out that day met some lovely ladies that were new to kayaking and we traded stories and compared kayaks to more experienced kayakers on the lake. All in all it was a really enjoyable day.

Anyone know what Rowlett creek is like right now as far as for kayaking , I heard it difficult due to the construction going on and I think I want to try it next.
