1993 Kenney Res. Channel Catfish Study Report ,'` <br />Page 6 <br />primarily overnight sets (@ 12 hours per set) and day time sets (@ <br />4 hours per set). Hoop net effort represents 24 hours per set <br />except for three 12 hour sets made in the river directly below <br />Taylor Draw Dam where the nets were removed during daytime hours <br />because of public use in the area. Trotline sets were for 24 hours <br />each. <br />Table 1.

The catch by waterbody was: <br />Reservoir: 107 channel, catfish. <br />River - Upper: 47 channel catfish. <br />River - Lower: 109 channel catfish. <br />All 156 channel catfish sampled from the river were wild (unmarked) <br />fish. Ninety-seven (97) of the reservoir channel catfish were <br />marked (stocked) fish, 10 were unmarked or wild fish. <br />All channel catfish sampled during the study were measured to total <br />length (TL) in millimeters. Figure 2 in Appendix A illustrates the <br />total catch of catfish by length for each waterbody. The mean TL <br />for the 3,000 catfish when planted in 1992 was 195 millimeters. <br />All channel catfish sampled during the study were weighed in grams . <br />Figure 3 in Appendix A shows the total catch of catfish by weight <br />for each waterbody. The mean weight for the 3,000 catfish when <br />planted in 1992 was 61 grams. <br />The total numbers of reservoir catfish shown the Figures 2 and 3 do <br />not add up 107 as stated above for total catch because several fish <br />died from being captured in gill or trammel nets and had been <br />partially eaten by crayfish. <br />
