Fish Species

Channel Catfish

Channel catfish are the most common of the freshwater catfish and can be easily identified because of their distinctive forked tails and dark spots scattered around the body.

Black Crappie

Black crappie are considered one of the most, if not the most, popular panfish species. They are pursued heavily by expert and novice anglers alike, mainly for their exceptional eating qualities and ability to be caught in large numbers.

Largemouth Bass

The largemouth bass is the largest and most popular member of the Centrarchidae family of sunfish and its subgroup known as black bass. Largemouth bass have bodies that are both elongated and thick, providing them with the ability to swim very quickly for short bursts.

Fathead Minnow

Fathead minnows originated throughout the Midwest and upper Mississippi River drainage, west to Utah, north to Canada, and east to Maine. Popularity as a bait minnow has led to fathead introductions throughout the United States resulting from bait-bucket release or hatchery escapement.

Grass Carp

White Amur (Grass Carp) will help control excessive aquatic vegetation.  These fish are a very effective biological control and eliminate the need for chemical herbicides by consuming three to five times their body weight each day during their early growing years.

Bluegill

Bluegill are a widely dispersed member of the sunfish family and a close relative to the largemouth bass. The bluegill’s body is fairly compressed, oval or rounded, with a small mouth and head and pointed pectoral fins, all of which are characteristic of the sunfish family.e to edit.

Koi

Koi are a group of fish that are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp (Cyprinus carpio).  They are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens.  Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream.

Redear Sunfish
(Shellcracker)

Redear sunfish are a popular game fish because they are hard fighters on light tackle and, like other sunfish, readily take a variety of baits and can be caught in large numbers. They are considered good table fare and can be prepared in a variety of ways.
