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 fish population was found to be dominated by black bullheads of small average size (approximately 6.0" in length). Small largemouth bass (about 10.5") and pumpkinseed sunfish (5.0) were also present in above average numbers. Northern pike were captured in numbers far below previous years standards and averaged only 12.4 inches in length. Bluegill and black crappies were also captured, but in very low numbers. Carp were present in average numbers and below average in size. Three channel catfish were captured during this survey and all three were quality size individuals. This lake has no recorded history of channel catfish being present.
