Fall catfish stocking aimed at curbing spring caddisflies

CAP channel catfish

Each March, CAP stocks channel catfish into sections of the canal. They are known to eat caddisfly larvae, which otherwise would hatch into flying adults that can be a nuisance to canal-side neighbors. This fall, we stocked 2,500 additional fish, targeting an area that had a very high caddisfly population in 2026. Combined with our regular spring stocking program, this effort aims to minimize caddisfly impacts in 2027.
