Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.
The gillnet index for northern pike is above the third regional quartile. The gillnet index for yellow perch is below the first regional quartile. The trap net index for black bullheads is above the third regional quartile. Trap net indices for yellow bullheads, rock bass and bluegill are below their first regional quartiles. Northern pike ranged from one to three years of age. The second and third growth increments were faster than normal. Growth during the first growth increment was normal. Black crappie ranged from two to four years of age. Growth rates were normal. The gillnet index for yellow perch indicate a significant decrease in abundance since the last survey based on two gillnet sets.
