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.
Lake George (29-0216-00) is an 825.72-acre lake with a maximum depth of 29 feet located near Lake George, MN. Park Rapids Fisheries staff conducted a survey targeting near shore fish species on July 10 and 11, 2024, to assess populations of non-game and small sport fish. Fourteen 100-foot sampling sites were evenly spaced around the lake shore, sampling a variety of habitat types. Each site was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 50-foot or 15-foot 1/8th-inch mesh seine, depending on habitat conditions. During this assessment, six sites were sampled with a 15-foot seine and four sites were sampled with a 50-foot seine. Backpack electrofishing was done at all 14 sites. Nearshore sampling captured 12 species of fish including two species intolerant of disturbance; Banded Killifish, and Blackchin Shiner. Other species sampled during the nearshore effort included Bluegill, Bluntnose Minnow, Brook Stickleback, Central Mudminnow, Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Spottail Shiner, and Yellow Perch. Nearshore catches will be used along with gill net and trap net catch data from a standard fisheries survey conducted on June 17, 2024 to calculate a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score, which is indicative of the health of Lake George. This survey is contributing to a watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency. Kabekona Lake is located in the Upper Mississippi River/Headwaters Watershed.
