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.
Northern pike abundance is high (9.0 per lift) with an extremely excellent length-frequency distribution present. Black crappies are extremely abundant with size decent. Bluegills are present in moderate numbers with size very nice. Largemouth bass are present in low to moderate numbers, but were not caught in nets. Yellow perch as forage food are very abundant. Bullhead species are only moderately abundant.
