approximately every two weeks from December to February and catchable channel
catfish approximately every two weeks from April to May, and from mid-September to
early November. Fish stocking will cease from approximately June through mid-
September due to heat stress factors.
Stock sunfish (usually bluegill or redear) at least once annually into all participating
waters. Other approved fish species may be stocked as necessary to: 1) establish a
resident fish population, 2) augment existing fish populations, 3) maintain a balanced
fishery, 4) improve angler success rates, or 5) provide feature species for anglers.
Fish stocking will cease from approximately June through mid-September due to heat
stress factors. Adjustments to these stocking schedules and/or species may be required
due to climatic and/or weather conditions, fish availability from vendors and/or
condition, logistics of fish delivery from vendors, lake or water quality conditions, or
increases in fish costs.
