The Indiana DNR recently stocked selected urban fishing locations across the state with more than 2,000 channel catfish ranging from 10 to 14 inches with an average of 12 inches.
Locally, 100 fish were stocked at Meadowlark Park Pond in Carmel. Select urban lakes and ponds around the state receive three stockings total each spring, typically between late March and the first week of June.
The catfish daily bag limit is 10 per angler with no size restriction. DNR’s urban fishing program offers an exciting and safe way for families and anglers to experience the fun of fishing.

Anglers 18 and older must have a valid Indiana fishing license to fish at these locations, but those 17 and younger do not. Licenses can be purchased at on.IN.gov/INhuntfish.
