Applications to be accepted for catfishing at Nuuanu
Advertiser Staff
Applications for the entry fishing cards for channel catfish fishing in Nu'uanu Reservoir No. 4 will be available starting Monday.
On Saturday, May 31, 2008, DLNR will re-open the reservoir for weekend catfish fishing.
Fishers who want to fish for the stocked catfish can do so by obtaining a valid State of Hawai'i freshwater game fishing license and an entry fishing card.
Last year about 7,100 anglers caught over 3,700 catfish.
Prospective anglers may pick up applications and instructions for entry fishing cards at DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources at 1151 Punchbowl Street, room 330 and from various licensing agents on O'ahu.
Applications will be available April 28 to May 16. Blank applications will not be mailed out.
The deadline for submitting applications to DLNR is 4 p.m. on May 16. For mailing, enclose the application card(s) in an envelope addressed to Anuenue Fisheries Research Center, 1039 Sand Island Parkway, Honolulu, HI 96819.
To minimize overcrowding at the reservoir, a drawing will be held to assign each cardholder a fishing date and time.
Fishing will start on May 31 and continue on consecutive weekends, Saturdays and Sundays only until all anglers with assigned fishing times have been accommodated.
