Fish Status |
Good | Several Bluegill over 7 inches were collected during the 2022 survey. However, the presence of Gizzard Shad in the lake will likely prevent many Bluegill from reaching 8 inches. | |
Developing | Channel Catfish have been stocked annually since 2020. No catfish were collected during the 2022 survey, however electrofishing is not always effective for sampling catfish, especially in deeper lakes like strip cuts. | |
Poor | All bass collected during the 2022 survey were under 12 inches. However, bass sample size was very low and may not adequately represent the population. | |
