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.
Walleyes are not stocked into Daggett but are stocked annually as fry and every other year as fingerlings into the Whitefish Chain. Walleyes can move throughout the chain and into Daggett. The gill net catch of 1.0/net was below average when compared to similar lakes. Average length was 19.4". Northern Pike were sampled in average numbers, when compared to similar lakes, at 9.0/gill net. Average length was 23.0", with pike over 26" making up 26% of the catch. Northern Pike up to 34.5" were sampled. Largemouth Bass were sampled in average numbers in gill nets at 0.8/net. Average length was 11.8". Largemouth Bass electrofishing was done in Daggett, along with various stations across the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, resulting in a combined catch rate of 44.9/hour run-time. Average length was 13.1". In 2021, a new regulation was adopted that reduces the Black Crappie and Sunfish daily limit to 5 each to maintain or improve panfish sizes in The Whitefish Chain. The Black Crappie gill net catch was the highest to date and high compared to similar lakes. Mean length was 7.2". Trap nets caught fewer, but large crappie. Mean length was 8.9". Only two of the Black Crappies sampled were over 10". Bluegills were sampled in typical numbers in trap nets. Mean length was 5.4", with 11% measuring at least 7" but no 8 inch fish were sampled. It appears that larger Bluegill had vacated the shallows by the time of the survey. Larger fish were sampled in gill nets where the mean length was 6.5", with 33% at least 7" and a fish over 8" was captured.
