| Channel Catfish Stocking Discontinued Until Further Notice Channel catfish stockings have been discontinued until further notice. Existing channel catfish populations remain in the waterbody, but anglers should expect lower catch rates over time due to the absence of continued stocking efforts. |
Lake Tams is a three-acre, storm water retention pond located at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton. It has a fair largemouth bass population and improving bluegill fishery. Channel catfish are stocked twice a year. Grass carp were introduced to control aquatic vegetation. This lake is one of the Community Lake Improvement Program (C.L.I.P.) lakes, and includes a stocked trout program.
