Lake Information for Nu‘uanu Reservoir Number Four

The Nu`uanu Freshwater Fish Refuge includes the City and County of Honolulu's Nu`uanu Reservoir No. 4, located between Honolulu and Kailua off the Pali Highway. The reservoir is stocked with channel catfish, and is open to weekend public fishing three times a year, beginning in May, August, and November.

A Freshwater Game Fishing License and Entry Fishing Card are required. Prospective anglers must submit an application to the Division of Aquatic Resources several weeks in advance of an opening, and a lottery is then held to determine fishing times. All applicants are accomodated. The bag limit for channel catfish is two per licensee, and any channel catfish 16 inches or larger must be kept.
