Fishing for channel catfish should be good in 2006. The Department stocks catfish each fall to maintain the population. Bluegill fishing should be fair to good this year. Bluegills were much more numerous in this year’s sample and the size is much better. Crappie fishing should remain fair. Fishing for largemouth bass will be fair this year.
