I just called ODFW and Commonwealth is not being stocked this week due to low water and oxygen levels. ODFW current plans are to not stock until April.

yea, i had the feeling that would happen. the water looks way too low and VERY murky. me and my brother went there Tuesday night for some cat fish. all we caught were little 5 inchers. caught about 5 and threw them back in. if there are baby catfish here, that means theres a nice size momma catfish somewhere in that lake. ill be trying to catch her over spring break. haha

Man! I was going to take my youngest son there tomorrow, even though the water did look pretty low last week......I took my boys out to run their new r/c boat. I checked the stock report and figured they would dump by at least weds. has anyone heard about Bethany?

Bethany was done today.
Commonwealth is too low to stock currently. Next stocking will be a double load, those that should have gone today, and what is scheduled next. LOTS of fish then...

yea, they are channel cat. you can fish there at night. we were using night crawlers. you are guaranteed to catch cat fish there. i dont know where the bigger fish stay though, not that experienced with catfish.
