El Dorado Reservoir Fishing Information
Blue Catfish Tagging Project Underway at El Dorado
Blue catfish – native to major river basins in eastern Kansas – can reach massive sizes. Kansas’ current state record was caught from the Missouri River, weighing in at more than 100 pounds. As blue catfish populations become established in Kansas’ largest reservoirs, popularity of this species among anglers also continues to grow. One such growing fishery can be found in El Dorado Reservoir.
While many anglers might associate El Dorado Reservoir with monster walleye, hard-fighting wipers, or slab crappie, blue catfish are developing a following in the 8,000-acre impoundment. Blue catfish were introduced into El Dorado Reservoir in 2004 to establish an additional predatory fish population and to provide anglers with a new sport fishing opportunity. Annual stockings occurred for six years, creating a population that first exhibited natural recruitment in 2009. As the population grew, it became apparent that the fishery would benefit from harvest of smaller fish. In 2016, KDWPT implemented a 25- to 35-inch protected slot length limit, five fish daily creel limit, and a maximum of two fish over 35 inches.
As with any new regulation, data is needed to gauge effectiveness. To collect this data, KDWPT Fisheries biologists are tagging up to 2,000 blue catfish in El Dorado Reservoir. Tags will appear as a small yellow vinyl tube beneath the fish’s dorsal fin. Each tag will display an ID number unique to that fish and a phone number to call to report the catch, (620) 342-0658. Biologists hope to gain information about the area’s blue catfish population size, entrainment through the dam, and the fish’s susceptibility to harvest.
Success of this project is dependent on anglers reporting the tagged fish they capture. Information needed during the call will be the length of the fish, date, tag number, and whether the fish was kept or released. Anglers who report their tagged catch will receive an award as compensation for their participation.
Anglers should note that tagged blue catfish that are not legal for harvest must be returned to the water immediately after recording the tag information. If the tagged catfish is legal for harvest, anglers may keep or release the fish. Because part of this study is to evaluate harvest patterns, biologists encourage anglers not to let the presence of a tag influence their decision to keept or release the fish.
If you find a tagged blue catfish on the end of your line this summer, please take the time to call it in. Data collected from these fish are invaluable to fisheries biologists and will only improve angling success in the future.

Creel limits for similar species, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass; or walleye, saugeye, and sauger; or wiper and striped bass apply to single species or in combination. For example, at El Dorado Reservoir, an angler may keep five largemouth bass OR three largemouth bass and two smallmouth bass OR two largemouth bass, two smallmouth bass, and one spotted bass or any other combination of the three.
| Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method & Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zebra Mussels | Zebra mussel veligers (larval zebra mussels) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS AND BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!! CLEAN DRAIN & DRY Every Lake, Every Time! Click HERE to learn how to prevent the spread of zebra mussels. REMEMBER!! Zebra Mussels are also present in the Trout Area below the dam!! | ||
| Wiper | Fair to Good | 17-25 inch | Be sure to properly ID your catch as there is there is an 21-inch minimum length limit and 2/day creel limit on wiper. Wiper have been on the move recently as they follow shad throughout the lake. Look for surface feeding activity early morning and late evening and cast shad imitating lures into the surfacing wipers. During the day look for wipers in deeper water near river channels, old roads, breaks, or other structure. |
| White bass | Fair | 9-14 inch | See wiper report |
| White Perch | White perch can usually be found on mainlake breaks and rocky areas. Small hooks and worms are always productive. Most white perch at El Dorado are on the smaller side at 4 to 6 inches. | ||
| Crappie | Fair | Up to 15+ inches | 20/day creel limit Crappie are being caught on brush piles in deeper water 10 to 15 feet deep. As always, jigs or minnows are the go to baits for crappie. |
| Blue Catfish | Fair | up to 40 inches, with a lot of 18 to 24 inch "eater" sized fish. | ***ATTENTION ANGLERS!*** A new blue catfish harvest regulation is in effect. The creel limit is now 10/day with no more than 1 blue catfish 30 inches or over. Blue catfish have been caught in the creeks with the inflows. Worms are always a great choice when fishing moving water. Fresh cut bait is always a good selection in the lake. Boaters are catching blues both drifting and anchored throughout the lake. During the summer months, blue cats can be found in or very near to the river channels. Harvest of legal length blue catfish is encouraged, especially blues in the 18 to 26 inch range. The creel limit has been increased from 5/day to 10/day to allow anglers to harvest more blue catfish. |
| Walleye | Fair | up to 26 inch | THE WALLEYE LENGTH LIMIT IS 21-INCHES WITH A 2/DAY CREEL LIMIT. Walleye catch has been sporadic this week with fish being found in a wide variety of depths and locations. Fish have moved in to the summer flats pattern and can be caught by drifting a jig and crawler or pulling spinners with crawlers or leeches. Fish also being caught on trolled crankbaits along points, breaks, roads, and other structure. |
