Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

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.
Five Point Lake (DOW#11-0351, Lake Class 31) is a 219-acre lake with 88.0 littoral acres, 3.7 miles of shoreline, and a maximum depth of 37 feet located near Hackensack, MN. There is a state-owned public access on the west shore. The DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Lakes in this class are generally clear, moderately productive, and moderately deep. Other area waters in this classification include Bowen, Child and Widow. Five Point Lake is primarily managed for Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Bluegill, and secondarily for Black Crappie, Tullibee (Cisco), Walleye and Yellow Perch. Five Point Lake is a great multi-species lake with potential to produce trophy size fish. Northern Pike abundance was slightly above the management goal and lengths ranged from 14 to 36 inches. Largemouth Bass were sampled in low numbers with fish up to 12 inches. Additional sampling is required to develop management goals for Largemouth Bass. Bluegill numbers were low, not meeting management goals for abundance but exceeding management goals for size structure with fish from 3 to 9 inches in the sample. Black Crappie were moderately abundant, meeting both management goals for size and abundance with fish up to 14 inches present. Walleye abundance was below the management goal of 2 fish per gill net despite fry or fingerlings being stocked nearly annually since 2013. Walleye lengths ranged from 15 to 29 inches. Abundant Northern Pike and low Yellow Perch populations may be limiting Walleye stocking success. Other fish species sampled include Bowfin (Dogfish), Brown Bullhead, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass and Yellow Bullhead. People can have significant impacts on lakes and the fish populations they support. Harvest, lakeshore development, removal of shoreline vegetation, and introductions of invasive species can all adversely affect fish populations. Currently, no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Five Point Lake. AIS are moved from infested to non-infested waters by anglers, boaters, and lake shore owners and can adversely impact lakes and fish populations. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access. If you suspect an infestation of an invasive species in this lake, save a specimen and report it to a local natural resource office. Additional information on all of these topics can be found on the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us) or…
