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.
Morrison Lake is a 164 acre lake located three miles east of Outing in Cass County. Morrison does not have a designated public access. Northern Pike were sampled in average numbers, when compared to similar lakes, at 8.3/gill net. Average length was 21.2", with 21% in the protected 22-26" slot. Northern Pike measuring at least 26" in length made up an additional 6% of the catch with fish up to 36.2" sampled. Largemouth Bass were sampled by spring electrofishing at a rate of 131.0/hr run time. Average length was 10.6", with 37% at least 12" in length. Largemouth Bass were sampled in high numbers in gill net at 4.5/net. Average length was 12.9". Black Crappies were sampled in average numbers at 2.8/gill net and 1.0/trap net. Average length was 12.0" for gill net sampled fish, and only 6.8" for trap net sampled fish. For both gears combined 70% were at least 8" in length. Bluegills were sampled in low numbers at 6.4/trap net. Average length was 7.0" with 60% at least 7" in length. No invasive species have been discovered in Morrison, but they are in the area. Lake users are required to inspect and remove any aquatic plants and animals from their watercraft and trailers, as well as pull the plug and drain all water from the watercraft, including bilges, livewells and baitwells.
