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.
St. Joe Lake currently has a fish population dominated by small black bullheads, northern pike and several species of panfish. Approximately 25 percent of individual bluegill and hybrid sunfish sampled were over 7.0 inches in length. Growth rate was found to be generally below average for all species present in the sample.
