- Catfish fishing in the Children's and Central Ponds has been slow. Anglers using chicken livers and "stink bait" report the best results.
- No reports from the South/Catch and Release Pond.
- Ponds are stocked with catfish for the summer months. Remember, catfish feed by smell, so try baits with fish-luring odors.
- There are algae blooms in all of the fishing ponds at Tingley Beach. Attempts to remove the excess algae will continue.
