Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!!

Blue catfish |
Slow |
up to 18-inch |
The majority of these fish are below the 35-inch minimum length limit and must be released immediately. Take time to properly identify your catfish catch. Click HERE for information on how to properly identify your catch.
During July 2005, the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks stocked 600 tagged blue catfish in to El Dorado Reservoir. The stocked fish ranged in length from 10 to over 23 inches. The minimum length limit for blue catfish at El Dorado is 35 inches so nearly all tagged fish will need to be released. The tag is located at the base of the dorsal fin and is yellow in color. If you catch a tagged fish at El Dorado Reservoir record the 5-digit number on the tag, measure the length of the fish, promptly release the fish with the tag intact, note the location the fish was caught, and contact the fisheries biologist at 316-322-7513. Information received from anglers regarding tagged blue catfish will provide useful information to the biologists and will assist in the tracking of the population. Thank you for your assistance! |
Wiper |
Fair to Good at times |
up to 22-inch |
Wiper fishing has been hit or miss recently as fish aren't staying in any one spot very long. Limited surface feeding action is taking place early and late in the day. Productive baits are anything that looks like a shad but do try to match the size of your lure and the shad you see. Look along windblown shorelines and also off the mainlake points for surface action. Not many gulls are present at the lake so they are not offering much help in finding the surface feeding action.
Be sure to properly ID your catch as there is there is an 21-inch minimum length limit and 2/day creel limit on wiper.. Click HERE for tips on identifying wipers. |
White bass |
Fair to Good at times |
