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.
Greenwood Lake is a large but shallow lake with dark brown colored water located 23 miles northwest of Silver Bay in Lake County and within the Superior National Forest. There is a public water access off Lake County 2 with a concrete log boat ramp and parking for several vehicle and trailer rigs. A standard survey was completed in August 2025 to monitor the status of the fish community and provide updated information about angling opportunities. Walleye were captured at a rate of 12.9 per gill net which is within the normal range for this type of lake and similar to the nine previous surveys of Greenwood Lake. Age analysis confirms natural reproduction and recruitment to the fishery still occurs annually. Survival is good but size is generally poor with an average length of 11.8" and only 16% of the catch longer than 14 inches. Survey results confirm the lake continues to support a Walleye population with average abundance and small size structure. Northern Pike have been captured in each of the previous surveys of the lake, but the population has never had the size structure to be of much interest to anglers. The 2025 catch had an average size of just 17.4 inches long and included just two pike longer than 24 inches. Bluegill were sampled for the first time during the 2025 survey. It is possible they migrated from the Sand River watershed via the Greenwood River. Future surveys will determine if the species is able to establish a self-sustaining population capable of supporting a fishery in Greenwood Lake.
