Fish species in Lake Frank Jackson

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Lake Frank Jackson received more than 5,000 harvestable-sized channel catfish on February 1, 2022. The project also planned spawning boxes, giving cavity-nesting catfish protected places to reproduce.

Catfish with a little history behind them

Try worms on a simple bottom rig from an approved fishing area. The park has boat access and an accessible fishing platform at the northwest end of the dam. Check current limits before keeping a catch.
