Sportfishing Notes A catfish feeding program was initiated in 2011 using an automated feeder. The goal is to grow catfish to a larger size than typically seen in small lakes in the Denver Metro area. Population sampling in 2012 showed that the channel cat- fish are in excellent condition, much “plumper” than aver- age. A marking program was be- gun in 2015 on the channel catfish to allow us to identify individual catfish and to fol- low their growth under this feeding program over succes- sive years.
