The actual stocking dates are not released to the public because the day often

changes without notice and causes many anglers to end up waiting for a truck

that doesn’t arrive. The most up-to-date information on stockings is available

by calling our Kansas City Regional Office at 816/525-0300 ext. 4001. Your

presence at the lake when the fish are stocked is not necessary to have good

fishing. The fish that are stocked haven’t been fed for several days and will be

hungry, but it usually takes a day or so for them to recover from the trip and

begin biting. Most stocked channel catfish average a pound. The following

table gives the TENTATIVE stocking schedule for 2018.
