Biologists Create Structure for Catfish at Saddle Lake
Indiana Ag Connection - 10/21/2016

Channel catfish may be more likely to reproduce in a lake in Hoosier National Forest, thanks to recent work by DNR fisheries biologists.

Saddle Lake, near Tell City, in the Saddle Lake Recreation Area, has been drawn down for dam repairs. DNR biologists placed 19 nesting boxes in the exposed lake bed in an effort to improve natural reproduction of the sport fish.

Half of the boxes were covered with large rock. The purpose is to see if the rock will improve spawning and juvenile fish success. Biologists will use a GoPro camera to monitor box use by channel catfish in summer 2017.

In fall 2017, biologists will conduct netting to see if young channel catfish are collected.
