lake wilson hawaii species

 well lets see......... there are northern strain largemouth bass, smallmouth bass although quite rare in the warm lake waters. there are butterfly peacock bass, a smaller version of the amazon ones so many people drool over, not to worry ours still attain a doable size and fight just as hard.there are oscar,tilapia, and channel catfish. there are pongee aka snakeheads, no not the giant northern ones. although now rare as well, i hear they are good eating if your brave enough lol just watch out they got serious teeth on them. there are bluegills that are coming back after a near extinction during the salvinia invasion. recently within the last 12 -15 years red devils and many invasive cichlids have been introduced. we have  plecos aka armored catfish that  would fill a whole fish tank they are so big. their are red eared turtles now as well. freshwater needlefish a very small type of gar. their are mosquito fish and thread fin shad. and every once in awhile someone will fish up a pacu or some other strange or dangerous fish. its a very diverse fishery and it has suffered do to peoples carelessness. the game fish have really taken a hit with all the aggressive invasive species. hopefully they make a strong comeback!!
