Wildlife District Five (17 Southwest Counties) - More than 7,000 channel catfish were released in eight public lakes and wildlife areas across southwest Ohio. The eight to 10-inch catfish were raised at the St. Marys State Fish Hatchery and were released during the week of September 21. The catfish stockings occur every other year in these smaller lakes and ponds. Catfish reproduction is often poor or nonexistent at these bodies of water. Previous studies at other small lakes have shown that these stockings led to significantly improved catch rates for catfish anglers. Catfish will continue to bite well through November. Fish night crawlers or minnows under a bobber in the deeper holes.

Locations and totals released include: Adams Lake, 932; Tranquility Wildlife Area, 265; Indian Creek Wildlife Area, 408; Darke Wildlife Area, 721; Spring Valley Lake, 2,652; Fallsville Wildlife Area, 156; Oldaker Wildlife Area, 116 and Lake Loramie, 2,143.
