Catfish eggs being agUaled at Elk Grove Warmwaier Fiih Hatchery. âFish and Game Photo nveen 1956-57 and 1957-58 reflects the poor black bass spawning season experienced in the spring of 1958, when heavy rainfall and high winds caused a heavy mortality in newly hatched bass fry. The AU-American and Coachella canal systems that carrv irrigation water from the lower Colorado River to the Imperial and Coachella Valleys of Southern California began drawing really heavy angler use for the first time. The big change came in the spring of 1957, when crowds of fishermen such as those associ- ated with the opening of trout season lined the banks of the Coachella canal near Niland and the All-Amer- ican canal near Winterhaven to share excellent catches of channel catfish and largemouth bass. Pine Flat Crappie Censuses carried on at Pine Flat Reservoir, Fresno County, during the 1956-58 period revealed that about 25,000 anglers use this reservoir each year. What was developing as a smallmouth bass fishery of notable im- portance last biennium has now become one depend- ent largely upon the much less desirable black crappie. Crappie, planted by unknown persons, began to ap- pear in March, 1957, and by March, 1958, constituted 87 percent of all fish caught. This is a good example of the tragic results from unauthorized plants of fish. Farm Ponds Most of the farm ponds listed in Table 33 in the Appendix are warmwater fish ponds. Many of the ponds were stocked with fish provided by the de- partment at no charge. Even though practically all farm ponds are closed to fishing for the general pub- lic, they relieve angler pressure on public waters. CHANNEL CATFISH During the biennium, for the first time, the stock- ing of young channel catfish became an important part of California's fisherie
