Moorehead Park Pond has a fair panfish population. Expect to catch decent numbers of bluegill and crappie. The size structure of the panfish has improved a little over the past several years. There are good numbers of bass, but not a lot of legal size fish. The channel catfish population is very strong with many catfish from 2- to 4-pounds.(2020)
