Community Corner: Talk About a Big Fish!

Aurora Reservoir patron John Servais took a trip to the reservoir to do some ice fishing and managed to catch himself not one, but two catfish. One was 15 pounds, and the other was a whopping 22 pounds!

John released both fish back into the reservoir, so they are still swimming around today if you want to try your luck at catching one for yourself.
