|---|---|---|---|
| Channel Catfish | Fair | Up to 3 lbs | Chisholm North, Watson, Emery Park, the KDOT lakes and the other lakes in the Wichita Metro Area are excellent for Catfish.

| Bluegill | Poor to Fair | Up to 8" | Bluegill are present in every lake in the area, but are especially good at Blackbird and Sunflower ponds, Chisholm North lake, and Emery Park Pond. Try a small piece of worm or a small jig around deeper structure. |
