Bodies of Water
Browse waters or search by water type. The Bodies of Waters list includes CPW Quality Waters, a new category of fishable waters that our talented team of fish management biologists identified and nominated based on their fish sampling records, creel surveys, and professional biological assessments. Quality Waters are below the threshold to be considered Gold Medal, but they are recognized because of their fantastic and diverse fisheries.
