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.
Nagel Lake is located eleven miles south of Akeley in Hubbard County. Nagel has a surface area of 69 acres and a maximum depth of 65 feet. There is a state owned carry in access on the northeast shore of the lake. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Nagel Lake is in lake class 28. Class 28 lakes generally are small with a regularly shaped shoreline, and very clear and hard water. Other class 28 lakes in the Park Rapids area include: Big Bass, Dinner, Emma, Gilmore, Indian, Newman, Thomas, and Williams. Due to its small size, Nagel Lake is very susceptible to over-harvest. Anglers must practice selective harvest if they want to improve or maintain the fishery. Northern Pike were sampled in average numbers compared to similar lakes, and past surveys of Nagel Lake. The average size was 18.6 inches and 1.5 pounds, with the largest just over 25 inches. Largemouth Bass were sampled in numbers in line with previous years, and on the high end for similar lakes. Bass were an average size of 8.5 inches, with fish sampled up to 14.4 inches. Bluegills were abundant and higher than similar lakes. Fish were sampled from 2.8 to 8.2 inches, with most fish 3-7 inches. Currently no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Nagel Lake. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
