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.
In May 2016, spring trap netting was conducted to assess Bluegill and Black Crappie populations and night electrofishing was used to assess that of Largemouth Bass. Both Bluegill and Black Crappie catch rates were lower than in connected Rabour Lake to the south but similar to Goose Lake to the north. Catch rates were typical of summer rates for the lake type for both species. Black Crappie ranged in length from 5.2 to 11.5 inches with a 9.5 inch average. Bluegill averaged 7.2 inches and ranged from 3.7 to 8.9 inches. Averages were very similar in both Goose and Rabour. Largemouth Bass were sampled at 30 per hour of electrofishing, an increase from the 2011 sample and very similar to the rate in Rabour Lake. Bass ranged from 7.3 to 20.4 inches with a 13.6 inch, 1.7 pound average.
