Stocking history

Year	Species	Size	Number	Pounds
2024	Black Crappie	adults	200	69.0
2024	Bluegill Sunfish	adults	130	35.1
2024	Hybrid Sunfish	adults	20	10.0

Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

DNR fish survey, 1994

Species	Gear	Catch per net	Total catch	Avg lb
Black bullhead	Standard gill nets	106.50	213	0.08
Black bullhead	Standard trap nets	2.40	12	0.22
Golden shiner	Standard trap nets	0.20	1	0.04
Pumpkinseed	Standard trap nets	0.20	1	0.16

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.

Long Lake is nearly devoid of gamefish. Only one pumpkinseed was caught in the survey nets; no other gamefish were caught. Black bullheads constitute the only viable fishery on the lake. The black bullheads ranged from 4.0 to 11.6 inches long and averaged 7 inches. The lake is in the latter stages of succession and is becoming a bog.
