whats the big deal with nuuanu catfishing i think theres more in lake wilson. of coarse the waters probly cleaner but as for the fishing i been there probly about 10 different times from when i was a little kid to about two years ago had to give them my info then the drawing then u got to take off to go on that date and then i dont catch anything or no big ones only 1 to 2 lbs and i just throw them back anyways. and theres a lot of people. and lake wilson u can go anytime alot more water or places to fish i think way better fishing but hardly anybody!may be if the state promoted it better and more people would fish they could find away to fix the dam and make it a better fishery. easier said then done. then again i like it with not a lot of people i seen in the mainland somelakes hit hard and the fish wont hit a lure for nothing. just done want to see the same fate as nuuanu.

By the way are the fish still in nuuanu or are they draining everything i might have to check um out local boy term "jump fence" and do some fishing lol!

I'm guessing that either people don't know about the abundance of catfish in Lake Wilson or Nuuanu is close to town and the townies don't want to drive way out to Lake Wilson. Alot of my townies friends think its like a mainland road trip to drive out to Wahiawa!


Looking at the "Nuuanu Fishing season ON" thread, do we really want those 7,000 people flooding Lake Wilson anyways?

I don't think anyone knows there is a Lake Wilson. Perhaps we should promote it so those 7200 catfish anglers learn there is another freshwater choice. More freshwater anglers would make it harder for DLNR to close the lake.

To promote freshwater fishing in Lake Wilson, what we should start doing is sending fish pictures to MidWeek magazine... it's sent to every home on Oahu. The snapshot page is one of the most read parts of the magazine.

If you send a fish picture to "Let's Go Fishing" and they use it on TV you get a Tako Bell gift certificate.

You can just e-mail the pictures.
Just a thought.

yeah i think thats a good idea id rather have more fisherman than no fishing at all. and its free advertisement cant beat that. and its the last public fishing area on the island

If DLNR ever tries to close Lake Wilson, I don't think the population of fishermen will be a factor. Whatever justification they have won't be affected by how many people fish in the lake. Just my $.02. I wouldn't mind seeing many more peeps enjoy our lake, but if they don't, I don't mind having the entire lake to myself, as I often do!

true dat, if they gonna close the lake one day,they will, 7000 thousand or not.turn it into a dirtbike course.............. naaaaaaa no money there......... hmmmmmmm ohhhhhhh ya fill it in a build houses!!!!!! sell it to some greedy ass developer in the name of helping our economy!!! ya ya......... greater good and all! trust em not!!!!! take it since the lake is slowly refilling they gave up on the dam fix,wasnt happy bout that nope nope, not a good sign. least the fishin will improve! getting out my top waters for all that grass waiting to be buzzed over!!!!!

Hope they didn't give up on fixing the dam...otherwise better get a good river drifting boat...you never know when the dam will blow and when you are going on that whitewater ride of your life
