Good | Channel catfish between 16-17 inches were collected in the 2019 sample | |
Good | Bass from 14-17 inches in good condition were collected in the 2019 sample. The current fish population is out of balance with the bass predator density very low. A low oxygen event (winter kill or summer algal crash) has probably occurred in the recent past which eliminated most of the bass population. | |
