Williams Lake Catfish with Their Young (Kittyfish?)

These two catfish were spotted with their young (the dark cluster in the lower left) recently in the shallows off Wyndrock Drive. They had appeared a few years ago too, herding the young back and forth next to the sandy shore. By the next morning they’ve left.

On this day, a very small (pinky size) eel was also seen swimming next to the young, but it didn’t seem to be bothering the catfish.
