Add catfish to the list of warmwater fish in Wickiup. I caught two while trolling with my downrigger for Kokanee!! :shocked:

It sounds as though there is not a lake left up on Century Drive that some lower life form hasn't put fish into.
I personally like fishing for warmwater species but it really disturbs me to see these lakes damaged like this. I would think Diamond Lake would have been evidence enough to see what happens when someone introduces baitfish. :hoboy:

Fishtail you hit it right on the head. Im a die hard warm water fisher. But let it be known to everyone out there, I made my living guiding Salmon, Steelhead and Sturgeon for 10 years. I love them, cherish them and admire them with more respect than most peaple can dream of. Politics and crowds, plus the fact that a job was offered to me with a 401k and pension that could not be turned down led me down another road. I love Bass fishing, the tournament bug has bit me in a big way. Why I dont know, probably from the old motocross days, I love some freindly competion. That said, let it be known to all the bucket bioligists out there. A lot of peaple are watching, you are killing our pastime, our passion, and our fisheries. There are plenty of areas to fish for Bass and Panfish, introducing warm water fish to waters they dont belong is killing our sport! You are destroying any hope we have for good management of our warm water fisheries in the future. Wake up, What you are doing is killing us! And let it be known that you are being watched. I can promise you that anyone caught introducing warm water fish to a body of water they dont belong will be made example of. And rightfully so. Personally, I hope they lock you up for a long time.
