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.
Low populations were indicated for black crappie, white sucker, brown bullhead, yellow perch and walleye. Largemouth bass, and pumpkinseed numbers appear to be average. High numbers of northern pike, yellow bullhead, rock bass, and bluegill were indicated. Northern pike growth rates were above average for age 1 fish and average for age 2 and 3. Bluegill growth rates were below average.
