Why Largemouth Bass Should Be
Stocked in Clinton and Perry Lakes, and How It Can Be Accomplished
On Oct. 1 and 2, 2005, Topeka received nearly 4
inches of rain and as much as 12 inches fell on areas north of
the city in Jackson and Jefferson counties. Mother Nature's deluge
washed an untold number largemouth bass into Perry Lake. Consequently,
in the spring of 2006, bass angler began catching scores of 1
12 - to six-pound bass, and that great bass fishing lasted until
May of 2007. Even during the winter of 2006-07, when the surface
temperature at Perry registered 38 degrees, some bass anglers
caught as many as 34 good-sized largemouth during a four-hour
outing.
From this experience and similar ones in decades
past, it is obvious that a stocking program similar to the volume
that Mother Nature rendered in October of 2005 could be replicated
by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Park. Read

Stocking program allows opportunity
