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.
Keller Lakes fish population is dominated by bluegills. They made up over 90% of the trap net catch. The average length was 5.7 inches. Over 40% of the bluegills measured were 6 inches or larger, but only 1% were larger than 7 inches. Black crappies were found in low abundance and small size. Hybrid (tiger) muskellunge and walleye were sampled during the assessment. Neither species are not stocked in Keller Lake but are stocked in Phalen and Gervais Lakes which are connected. Largemouth bass were sampled in high abundance but were small. They averaged 7.54 inches in length.
