DNR fish survey, 2023
| Species | Gear | Catch per net | Total catch | Avg lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black bullhead | 3/8-in trap nets | 1720.50 | 3,441 | 0.00 |
| Bigmouth buffalo | 3/8-in trap nets | 0.50 | 1 | 7.74 |

| Bigmouth buffalo | Single-frame trap nets | 1.00 | 3 | 10.44 |
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.
This targeted survey was completed to determine extent of winterkill following the severe 2022-2023 winter. Despite winter operation of an aeration system, trap netting results suggested winterkill severity was high. It is worth noting that low oxygen levels were already being observed in late December, prior to the aeration system being turned on. A few large Bigmouth Buffalo and an abundant Black Bullhead population were the only fishes sampled. No gamefish species were collected. Walleye fry and adult Yellow Perch were stocked in spring 2023 to help restore this fishery.
