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.
Jordan Mill Pond is a 17-acre, Class 40 lake that is at the center of the community of Jordan, Minnesota. Some Mill Pond shoreline is in the city's Lagoon Park; the pond outlets into Sand Creek. This pond has been managed by the Fishing in the Neighborhood (FiN) program since 2001. It is stocked annually, or as needed, with Bluegill sunfish, Black Crappie and Largemouth Bass. Several other non-stocked fishes, including gamefish species, have been previously sampled and reported. A Standard Survey was conducted in 2016 to collect information about the fish community and water characteristics. The most abundant species sampled was Bluegill, which had a trap net abundance of 193 per net. Lengths of Bluegills ranged from 3.4-7.5 inches with a mean length of 5.6 inches. Black Crappies ranged in size from 5.3-9.3 inches in length with an average length of 7.2 inches. Trap net abundance was relatively high for this type of lake. Four Walleyes were captured in a gill net during this survey, despite no planned or privately permitted stocking. Walleyes ranged in size from 17.9-24.4 inches, with and average length of 20.5 inches. Two Northern Pike were captured in the single gill net during this survey. The two Northern Pike were 23.4 and 24.8 inches long and averaged 3.4 pounds. Two Northern Pike were also captured in trap nets. The two Northern Pike captured in trap nets were 26.3 and 33.6 inches in length and averaged 6.2 pounds. Other fishes captured during this survey included Black Bullhead, Channel Catfish, hybrid sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch.
