Catfish Season Opening Weekend is scheduled for April 2nd & 3rd. Lakes 3 and 4 will split a 2,000 lb. stock of Catfish including tagged Catfish worth CASH and prizes! Report your catch to the Park Office. Prizes will be awarded for the 5 largest Catfish caught over the 2-day event.

Trout, Bass and Catfish have all been biting this past week. For Trout try Spring Green Powerbait or Chartreuse. The Catfish prefer mackerel, nightcrawlers, shrimp or mealworms. The Bass are hitting on just about anything that moves.

Tymel Naval, age 7, caught a 7 lb. 2 oz. Rainbow Trout out of lake 3 on spring green powerbait. This fish qualifies Tymel for the Cabin Vacation drawing.

Alex Even landed a nice Bass out of Lake 6 while on a camp-out with his family. This largemouth fell for a green senko.

Jacob Hennessey hauled in an 11 lb. Catfish from lake 3 on a lure.
