At Topock Marsh, the North Dike boat ramp was dredged this spring, increasing boating access. Game and Fish biologists last surveyed the marsh in February 2022. They found that all present species with the exception of striped bass were in good condition. Largemouth bass, channel catfish, and black crappie appeared to cover a wide range of sizes and appeared to be stable. Bluegill, redear, and green sunfish were all present in Topock Marsh, but typically make up less than 1% of the catch annually. You can access the marsh by boat at North Dike, Catfish Paradise, and Five-Mile Landing. All three also provide plenty of area for shoreline fishing, too.
