It gets people pretty excited.
Nothing sells licenses faster than an acre of erupting catfish.
George says the channel catfish feeding program has proven extremely popular. In George's district, the cities of Pleasanton and Fort Scott also participate in the feeding programs. Larger lakes, such as La Cygne reservoir, have feeders, too, but George says the small lakes reap the greatest benefit from the program. We can attract fish for anglers in the larger lakes, but we can't make those fish grow the way we can in the smaller lakes. Feeding begins in the third week of April and runs through October.
