300 Paddle Fish Returned to Caddo Lake
More than 300 paddlefish returned to Caddo Lake on May 18, 2016, thanks to our Texas Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Twenty-eight paddlefish were anesthetized and surgically fitted with radio transmitters which will reveal to our biologists their habits and habitat uses for one year, the life of the radio. Paddlefish live 30 years, reach six feet long and 200 pounds on a diet of plankton.
