Town Tau Record Fishers Open Lake for Bream Bass and Catfish
City Manager Wil Cockrell says fishing is allowed at Municipal Park Lake despite lingering “No Fishing” signs. Park workers mark the signs, and residents report anglers catching bass and larger catfish from last weekend’s Lions Chub Fishing Derby. Cockrell notes a private release may have introduced catfish and some survived the lake’s partial drain and cleanup. Picnic pavilions beside the lake received paved parking pads this week.
