The lakes contain large-mouthed bass, sunfish/bluegill, catfish and carp. The lakes are stocked periodically with large-mouthed bass and sunfish/bluegill.
•The Sun City Grand lakes are catch-and-release in order to maintain an adequate fish stock for everyone’s enjoyment. Some tips to limit trauma to fish include:
o Use barbless hooks
o Use rubber nets
o Limit the time a fish is out of the water. Keep the fish wet.
o Carry hook removal devices. Fish pliers or hemostats work well.
o Limit fighting time while landing a fish.
o Do not drop or allow the fish to touch the ground.
• Only barbless hooks may be used while fishing. Children 10 years of age and under may fish using worms. All others must use artificial lures and are not permitted to use live bait.
