Urban Lakes
Stockings will occur randomly Monday through Saturday during the week indicated. The fish species stocked is in parentheses. This schedule will only change if fish delivery problems occur or conditions at an individual lake are unsuitable for stocking. Due to extreme heat conditions every summer, there are no fish stockings to Urban lakes and ponds between July 1 and September 15.

As a reminder, the following waters are managed under the Urban Pond concept Rio Vista, Papago, Steele Indian School and Evelyn Hallman (formerly Canal). The daily bag limit at these urban ponds is 2 trout, 2 catfish, 5 sunfish, and 1 bass per angler day in possession (one trout for unlicensed children). Daily bag limits at all other urban lakes is 4 trout, 4 catfish, 10 sunfish and 2 bass per angler per day.
