ORANGE COUNTY一 The Orange County Park system is restocking local lakes with catfish from Sept. 6 to Sept. 10.
The 2021 Catfish Stocking Schedule, originally released on April 7 lists out four parks throughout Orange County that anglers can check out for catfishing opportunities.
Anglers over the age of 16 are required to have a California Fishing License at all the listed parks except for Irvine Regional Park which was stocked the week of Aug. 9 and is not set to be restocked again for 2021.
To register for a fishing license, visit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife website.
The CDFW has several options including the Annual Sport Fishing License as well as a Short-Term Fishing License that has one-day, two-day, and ten-day nonresident options.
For the temporary licenses anglers can print out their pass after purchase, and for the annual license, the printed-out pass will serve as a temporary license until the actual license arrives in the mail.
The parks listed below are set to be stocked the week of Sept. 6.
