DNR fish survey, 2018
| Species | Gear | Catch per net | Total catch | Avg lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Largemouth bass | Standard electrofishing | 61.34 | 39 | 0.76 |
| Black crappie | Standard electrofishing | 3.15 | 2 | 0.34 |
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.
Daytime electrofishing was performed on Fawn Lake on June 19, 2018. This sampling was undertaken primarily to determine the effectiveness of daytime shocking in assessing the Largemouth Bass population with secondary interest in the panfish species. Due to its small size and limited access to the public, Fawn is a relatively low priority lake for intensive sampling with gill nets and trap nets. The lake has also shown some susceptibility to partial winterkills. Sampling in 2018 consisted of 0.64 hours of on-time effort while traveling around the entire shoreline in varying depths and distances from shore. A total of 39 Largemouth Bass were netted and measured ranging in length from 3.7 to 18.5 inches suggesting the presence of many year classes and no recent winterkill events. Mean length for bass was 9 inches and PSS was 73.7. Two Black Crappie were netted and measured with the largest being 10 inches. A single Northern Pike was seen but not netted. Bluegill and Pumpkinseed were also observed in good numbers but few appeared to be of sizes which would interest anglers. Daytime electrofishing proved to be a fairly effective method for the species targeted.
