Blue catfish harvest regulation approved

Kansas Wildlife and Parks commissioners approved a new blue catfish harvest regulation for Clinton, El Dorado, Elk City, Glen Elder, John Redmond and Melvern reservoirs. The new regulation includes a creel limit of 10 blue catfish per day with no more than one fish measuring 30 inches or longer.

Blue catfish are popular with Kansas anglers, and interest in the species continues to grow. They can reach large sizes, providing big fish opportunities previously unavailable in Kansas, while the smaller fish are a popular table fare. Most of the reservoirs that contain blue catfish were stocked within the last 20 years, making the species relatively new to Kansas fisheries.
