Summary
The ponds are regularly stocked with channel catfish (spring to fall) and rainbow trout (winter, during trout season). Best spots are near the fishing piers and along the shaded banks. Use stink bait or worms for catfish, and PowerBait or small spinners for trout. The area has ADA-accessible features like piers and maintained paths. There are no boat ramps or inflow/outflow coves. Early morning and evening are prime times year-round. Check Kansas Department of Wildlife for seasonal stocking updates and regulations.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
