Toole Assistant Leader: Danny Bodeker Clayton Garrison Executive Director Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas Lonnie J. Peters Chief, Inland Fisheries February 9, 1973 Robert J. Kemp, Director Fish and Wildlife Division --- Page 2 --- ABSTRACT A preliminary meeting was held in Tyler on March 22, 1972 between Depart- ment Biologists and Game Management supervisory personnel for the discussion of proposed regulation changes in regulatory authority areas. Inland Fisheries Region III-B includes counties in two regulatory districts, the Northeast Dis- trict and the Southeast District. Several changes were made in statewide fish- eries regulations applicable to regulatory authority counties within Region III-B. ike 6. A minimum size limit of 10 inches on largemouth bass, spotted bass and smallmouth bass. A daily limit of no more than 10 largemouth, smallmouth or spotted bass in the aggregate. Toledo Bend Reservoir closed to netting. Prohibit the taking of catfish in nets in all regulatory counties with the exception of those counties in and around Lake Texarkana. All trot lines that remain in public water shall be redated at the expi- ration of each 90 day period. The 11 inch minimum size limit was dropped on flathead, blue and channel catfish. Management recommendations derived from 1972 segment field data include: Discontinue channel catfish stocking-rearing program on Lake Murvaul. No commercial netting of any type on Lake Murvaul. Stocking of threadfin shad is recommended for Lake Striker. No additional stocking of game fish is recommended for Caddo Lake. No additional stocking of game fish is recommended for Toledo Bend Reser- voir. Chemical control of water hyacinths on Toledo Bend Reservoir and Caddo Lake where economically feasible. Commercial netting be closed on Lake O' the Pines, for protection of flathead catfish and other game fish species. It is recommended that water elevation in Lake O' the Pines be maintained two vertical feet above normal pool level in the spring in order to cur- tail heavy infestation of submerged vegetation in shoreline areas. Lower Blundell Creek Reservoir in Titus County be closed to fishing for 1973-74. --- Page 3 --- State Project No. Job No. SEGMENT COMPLETION REPORT Texas Name: Fisheries Investigation and Surveys F-3-R-20 of the Waters in Region III-B 15 Title: Fisheries Management Recommendations Period Covered: February 1, 1972 to January 31, 1973 OBJECTIVES: SEGMENT: PROCEDURES: I. A. B. 2. Bs 4. A, To determine, in Region III-B the need for: 1. Changes in fish harvest regulations 2. Fish population control 3. Stocking of game fish species 4. Noxious vegetation control 5. Emergency measures needed to correct unpredictable events ad- versely affecting fish. As above listed P.S. Objective Field data from quarterly surveys in Toledo Bend Reservoir, Murvaul Reservoir, Caddo Lake, Lake O'the Pines and Lake Texarkana were ana- lyzed to determine need for changes in fishing regulations. Proposed fishing regulations were presented at public hearing in regulatory authority counties within Region III-B. Quarterly surveys were made on each of the above reservoirs this seg- ment. Experimental gill nets and bag seines were utilized in making fish collections. Experimental nets used in these collections were 150 feet in length and 8 feet deep, with mesh size ranging from 1 inch to 3 1/2 inches with increments every 25 feet. A 15 foot nylon bag seine with 3/16 inch mesh and a 30 foot bag seine with 3/8 inch mesh were used in seining collections. Each of the candidate waters in this study contain established fish populations. Criteria for making stocking recommendations consist primarily of food availability and degree of reproduction. Where field sampling indicated little or no reproduction, the normal stock- ing recommendation was 100 bass fry or 50 bass fingerlings and 25 catfish per acre. Of course, in large reservoirs such as Toledo Bend Reservoir this rate cannot be feasibly maintained. In conjunction with the surveys, visual observations of aquatic vege- tation were made and recorded to determine those areas infested with noxious plants detrimental to fishermen usage and access. --- Page 4 --- B. Control recommendations for such areas of noxious vegetation were made if feasible. FINDINGS: Fishing Regulations A preliminary meeting was held in Tyler on March 22, 1972 between Parks and Wildlife Biologists and Game Management supervisory personnel for the dis- cussion of proposed regulation changes. Inland Fisheries Region III-B includes counties in two regulatory districts, Northeast Texas and Southeast Texas Districts. Several changes were made in the statewide fisheries regulations applying to most regulatory authority counties. 1. A minimum size limit of 10 inches was placed on largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. 2. The daily bag limit was reduced from 15 to 10 largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, in the aggregate. 3. Toledo Bend Reservoir be closed to all commercial netting. 4. Prohibit the taking of catfish in nets in all regulatory counties with the exception of those counties in and around Lake Texarkana. 5. All trot lines that remain in public water shall be redated at the expi- ration of each 90 day period. 6. The 11 inch size limit was dropped on all species of catfish. Public hearings were attended by project personnel in each regulatory county between May 1, and May 5, 1972. Lake Surveys Caddo Lake Caddo game fish percentages decreased this past segment, due primarily to the decrease in yellow bass netted and an increase in gizzard shad and spotted suckers, as indicated in Table 1. Adequate samples of all game fish were col- lected from Caddo Lake this segment and fishing success has been generally fair. Submerged and emergent vegetation continues to be an acute problem in Caddo. Some 400 acres of water hyacinths have been observed throughout the lake. During the summer, many areas become completely inaccesable to fishermen. No additional stocking of game fish is recommended for Caddo Lake, as netting and seining collections (Table 2) reflect adequate reproduction. --- Page 5 --- Table 1 Caddo Lake Netting Results Percent Percent of Weight of Average Species Number Number (ibs) Weight Weight Spotted gar 14 3.53 18.13 4,01 1.29 Longnose gar 5 1.26 26.06 10.18 9.21 Bowfin 4 1.01 25.00 5652 6.25 Gizzard shad 73 18.43 71.94 15.89 0.99 Chain pickerel 31 7.92 37.19 8.22 1.19 Spotted sucker 51 12.87 112,31 24.81 2220 Lake chubsucker 23 5.81 12.95 2.86 0.56 Golden shiner 2 0.52 0.32 0.07 0.16 *Channel catfish 17 4,29 24.39 5.39 1.43 Black bullhead 1l 2.77 18.01 3.98 1.63 Yellow bullhead 2 0.51 2.00 0.44 1.00 *White bass 3 0.75 4.13 0.91 1.38 *Yellow bass 93 23.48 31.70 7.00 0.34 *Largemouth bass 5 1.26 8.13 1.80 1.63 *Warmouth 13 3.28 3.81 0.84 0.29 *Redear sunfish 15 3.78 3.81 0.89 0.25 *Bluegill 2 0.51 0.13 0.03 0.06 *Black crappie 30 7.57 30.99 6.85 1.03 *White crappie L 0.25 0.25 0.06 0.25 Freshwater drum 1 0.25 1.37 0.30 Lidl neem TOTAL 396 100.00 452.62 100.00 Rough fish 217 54.80 345.28 76,28 *Game fish 179 45.20 107.34 23.72 --- Page 6 --- ali Table 2 Caddo Lake Seining Results Species Number Adult _ Young-of-Year Spotted gar 2 x Gizzard shad 5 x Grass pickerel 20 x x Golden shiner 2 x Blacktail shiner 3 x x Bullhead minnow 1 x Lake chubsucker 9 x Golden topminnow 9 x x Blackstripe topminnow 7 x Mosquitofish 8 x x Brook silverside 38 X x Largemouth bass 29 x Redear sunfish 126 x x Bluegill 97 x x Longear sunfish 23 x x White crappie 47 x Black crappie 21 x Lake O' The Pines Game fish percentages are up this segment due primarily to the large numbers of sunfish and crappie netted.

Some 125 spotted bass were collected last spring with the aid of the electro-fishing rig. Forage fish populations remain in good numbers as reproduction was excellent for threadfin shad and gizzard shad. Many Notropis species were found in large numbers throughout the lake as reflected in Table 4. --- Page 7 --- -5- Table 3 Lake O' The Pines Netting Results SS se fp Percent Percent of Weight of Average Species Number Number (lbs) Weight Weight Spotted gar 38 5.07 103.31 13.34 2al2 Gizzard shad 226 30.14 175.74 22.69 0.78 Chain pickerel 51 6.80 73.06 9.43 1.43 Spotted sucker 13 1.73 29.61 3.82 2.28 Bigmouth buffalo 1 0.13 14.50 1.87 14.50 Lake chubsucker 7 0.93 5.25 0.68 0.75 Golden shiner 7 0.93 2 SL 0.30 0.33 Carp 16 2.13 46.12 5.96 2.88 *Channel catfish 39 5.20 124.63 16.09 3.20 *Blue catfish 3 0.40 1.13 0.15 0.38 Black bullhead 11 1.47 17.43 2.25 1.58 Yellow bullhead 10 1.38 6.44 0.83 0.64 *Flathead catfish 2 0.27 11.75 1.52 5.88 *Largemouth bass 14 1.87 40.05 5.17 2.86 *Spotted bass 2 0.27 1.93 0.25 0.97 *White bass 1 0.13 2,25 0.29 2.25 *Redear sunfish 156 20,80 35.94 4,64 0.23 *Bluegill 86 11.47 12.82 1.66 0.15 *Spotted sunfish 3 0.40 0.25 0.03 0.08 *Black crappie 63 8.40 69.31 8.95 1.10 *White crappie 1 0.13 0.62 0.08 0.62 ue EEE TOTAL 750 100.00 774.45 100.00 Rough fish 380 50.67 473.77 61.18 *Game fish 370 49,33 300.68 38.82 --- Page 8 --- -6- Table 4 Lake O' The Pines Seining Results Species Number Adult Young-of-Year Threadfin shad 15 x x Grass pickerel 3 x Golden shiner 5 x Blacktail shiner 26 x x Blackspot shiner 24 x x Golden topminnow 4 x Starhead topminnow 4l x x Blackstripe topminnow 39 x x Mosquitofish 3 x Brook silverside 46 54 x Spotted bass 51 x x Largemouth bass 51 x Spotted sunfish 8 x x Redear sunfish 105 x x Bluegill 19 x x Good reproduction was found in all major game fish species with the exception of channel and blue catfish.

Lake Murvaul Lake Murvaul remains one of the State's top bass lakes as some 300 bass in excess of six pounds have been recorded in 1972. Creel census data just com- pleted indicate fishermen success to be relatively low, but the quality of fish caught has been above average. Reproduction of bass remains excellent as some 1,400 young-of-the-year were collected by seining under Job 17 in‘1971-72. --- Page 9 --- fins Table 5 Lake Murvaul Netting Results Percent Percent of Weight of Average Species Number Number (Lbs ) Weight Weight Spotted gar 5 0.55 20.62 2.77 4.12 Bowfin 10 1.10 114.25 15.37 11.43 Gizzard shad 424 46.70 154.74 20.82 0.36 Grass pickerel 1 0.11 0.37 0.05 0.37 Spotted sucker 2 0,22 3.63 0.49 1.81 Lake chubsucker 82 9.03 44.49 5. 99 0.54 Golden shiner 6 0.66 1.19 0.16 0.20 *Channel catfish 35 3.86 82.43 11.09 2.36 Black bullhead 5 0.55 5.94 0.80 1.19 Yellow bullhead 86 9.47 80.69 10.85 0.94 *Flathead catfish 3 0.33 57.25 7.70 19,08 *Largemouth bass 35 3.85 87.39 11.76 2.50 *Warmouth 5 0.55 1.07 0.14 0.21 *Redear sunfish 44 4.85 9.93 1.34 0.23 *Bluegill 86 9.47 14.00 1.88 0.16 *Longear sunfish 3 0.33 0.26 0.03 0.09 *White crappie 19 2.09 19.82 2.67 1.04 *Black crappie 57 6.28 45.25 6.09 0.79 eee TOTAL 908 100.00 743.32 100.00 Rough Fish 621 68.39 425.92 57.30 *Game Fish 287 31.61 317.40 42.70 --- Page 10 --- «Ba Fishing success for channel catfish has risen significantly as many fisher- men have reported large catches of channel catfish. The stocking program for channel catfish has been discontinued due to the large population that now exists in the lake. The white and black crappie are still demonstrating excellent growth rates and good reproduction was found for both species. Netting data (Table 5) indicate a good representation of all game fish. Total rough fish percentages in Murvaul have increased due to the large numbers of gizzard shad, lake chubsuckers and bowfin collected this year. No additional stocking of game fish is recommended for 1973 segment.

Public access facilities have been improved on the entire lake. Striped bass have been taken regularly by fishermen along the lower end of the lake. Toledo Bend game fish percentages dropped due to large numbers of spotted gar, gizzard shad and yellow bullhead catfish netted. Netting results have tra- ditionally been a poor indicator of the existing bass population in a lake or reservoir. Toledo Bend reflects this as the netting data (Table 9) indicate a low bass population although fisherman success throughout the lake is extremely high. Toledo Bend has one of the best reputations in the United States for bass fishing. Reproduction of most game fish (Table 10) was found to be satisfactory. No supplemental stocking is recommended for this segment. Lake Texarkana Lake Texarkana formerly assigned to Region III-A has been re-assigned to Region III-B. Four standard surveys were conducted during the 1972 segment. --- Page 13 --- «Lis Table 9 Toledo Bend Netting Results Percent Percent of Weight of Average Species Number Number (bs ) Weight Weight Spotted gar 88 18.03 18.73 26.47 2.13 Bowfin 10 2.05 83.73 LL.83 8.37 Gizzard shad 81 16.60 50.37 7.12 “0.62 Threadfin shad 1 0.21 0.31 0.02 0.13 Smallmouth buffalo 1 0.21 8.13 1.15 8.13 River carpsucker 41 8.40 81.74 L155 1.99 Spotted sucker 19 3.89 54.68 7.73 2.87 Lake chubsucker 4 0.82 2.43 0.34 0.61 *Channel catfish 3 0.61 20.94 2.96 6.98 Black bullhead ; 15 3.08 27.38 3.87 1,83 Yellow bullhead 70 14.34 80.49 11.38 1.15 Striped mullet 1 0.21 6.00 0.85 -- *Largemouth bass 23 4.71 45.07 6.37 1.96 *Warmouth 8 1.64 3.425 0.46 0.41 *Redear sunfish 10 2.05 3.43 0.48 0.34 *Bluegill 84 17.21 2105 2.97 0.25 *White crappie 9 1.84 16.88 2.39 1.88 *Black crappie 19 3.89 14.06 1.99 0.74 *Flier 1 0.21 0.51 0.07 0.51 eee TOTAL 488 100.00 707.57 100.00 Rough Fish 331 67.83 582.39 82.31 *Game Fish 157 32.17 125.18 17.69 --- Page 14 --- -12- Table 10 Toledo Bend Reservoir Seining Results Species Number Adult _ Young-of-Year Red shiner 2 x Sand shiner 22 x Golden topminnow 11 x Blackstripe topminnow 23 x x Mosquitofish 6 x x Brook silverside 17 x x Largemouth bass 71 x Warmouth 5 x Redear sunfish 4l x x Spotted sunfish 9 x Bluegill 77 x x Orangespotted sunfish 34 x x Game fish percentages were extremely high due to the large number of white bass and white crappie netted. The white bass were found to be in excellent con- dition as the average weight for 241 fish netted was 1.27 pounds (Table 8). White crappie also demonstrated a good growth rate with an average weight of one pound. The largemouth bass population was found quite low and no young-of-the-year bass were recovered in seining collections. Seining data are presented in Table 12. Smallmouth buffalo and gizzard shad comprised the majority of the rough fish netted, Threadfin and gizzard shad young-of-the-year were found to be very abundant. Red shiners, bullhead minnows and brook silversides made up the remaining bulk of the forage fish found in the lake. Lake Texarkana supports a large channel catfish commercial fishery. Channel catfish have been protected from netting statewide with the exception of Lake Texarkana. The catfish does not appear to be in any danger of over exploitation due to the turbid water, low bass population and abundant forage. Seine samples (Table 12) indicated reproduction of most game fishes was sat- isfactory with the exception of largemouth bass.” --- Page 15 --- = 19% Table 11 Lake Texarkana Netting Results Percent Percent of Weight of Average Species Number Number (Lbs ) Weight Weight Shortnose gar 40 3.81 99,32 8.54 2.48 Longnose gar 5 0.48 44,13 3.80 2.06 Spotted gar 13 1.24 26.75 2.30 2.06 Gizzard shad 206 19.62 , 66.10 5.68 0.32 Threadfin shad 2 0.19 0.10 0.01 0.05 Bigmouth buffalo 3 0.29 6.72 0.58 2.24 Smallmouth buffalo 117 11.14 276.17 23.74 2.36 Carp 1 0.09 1.88 0.16 1.88 *Channel catfish 51 4.86 32.92 2.83 0.65 *Blue catfish 1 0.09 0.62 0.05 0.62 *Flathead catfish 4 0.38 9.76 0.84 2.44 *White bass 241 22.95 305.65 26.28 1.27 *Largemouth bass 13 1,24 20.38 1.75 1.57 *Spotted bass 2 0.19 3.56 0.31 1.78 *Bluegill 17 1.62 2.61 0.22 0.15 *White crappie 287 27 «33 235.06 20.21 0.82 *Black crappie 2 0.19 1.75 0.15 0.88 Freshwater drum 45 4.29 29.64 2025 0.66 Ee TOTAL 1,050 100.00 1,163.12 100.00 Rough Fish 432 41.14 550.81 47.36 *Game Fish 618 58.86 612.31 52.64 --- Page 16 --- -14- Table 12 Lake Texarkana Seining Results Species Number Adult _ Young-of-Year Shortnose gar 1 x Threadfin shad 78 x x Gizzard shad a7 x x Bullhead minnow 174 x x Red shiner 269 x x Sand shiner 2 x x Mosquitofish 6 x x Brook silverside 423 x x Bluegill 3 x Longear sunfish 2 x RECOMMENDATIONS 1, Discontinue the channel catfish rearing program on Lake Murvaul. 2. Prohibit the use of contract commercial fishing or private use of nets on Lake Murvaul. 3. It is recommended that threadfin shad be stocked in Lake Striker. 4, Additional stocking of game fish species in Toledo Bend Reservoir and Caddo Lake is not recommended for this segment. 5. Chemical control of water hyacinths on Toledo Bend Reservoir and Caddo Lake is recommended where economically feasible. 6. It is recommended that the use of nets be prohibited in Lake 0' The Pines for the protection of the flathead catfish and other game fish species. This action would require legislative action as Marion County is not under regulatory authority of the Parks and Wildlife Department. 7. It is recommended that the water elevation in Lake 0' The Pines be main- tained two vertical feet above normal pool level in the Spring in order to curtail heavy infestation of submerged vegetation in shoreline areas.
