Comments: Loring Lake is surrounded by native wetland and upland prairie plantings that have brought a little bit of wilderness back to the city.  This shoreline habitat has helped protect water quality for the stocked Bluegills, Black Crappies and Channel Catfish. Using minnow as bait can help catch Black Crappies and worms will attract the abundant Bluegills and Black Bullheads.
