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 higher in Rabour than in connected Mandall and Goose Lakes to the north. Black Crappie catch rates were higher than typical summer rates for the lake type. Black Crappie ranged in length from 2.6 to 14.0 inches with a 9.4 inch average. Seventy three percent of crappies sampled were 4 years old. This year class averaged 9.2 inches in length, a good growth rate given their abundance. Bluegill averaged 7.3 inches and ranged from 3.4 to 8.8 inches, very similar to both Goose and Rabour. Largemouth Bass were sampled at 34.4 per hour of electrofishing, an increase from the 2011 sample and very similar to the rate in Mandall Lake. Bass ranged from 7.2 to 18.9 inches with a 13.2 inch, 1.5 pound average.
