| Species | Gear | Catch per net | Total catch | Avg lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bluegill | Standard electrofishing | 38.53 | 32 | 0.14 |
| Largemouth bass | Standard electrofishing | 7.22 | 6 | 1.99 |

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.
Daytime electrofishing was performed on Star Lake on June 19, 2018. This sampling was undertaken primarily to determine the effectiveness of daytime shocking in assessing the Largemouth Bass population with secondary interest in the panfish species. Due to its small size and remote location, Star is a relatively low priority lake for intensive sampling with gill nets and trap nets. Sampling in 2018 consisted of 0.83 hours of on-time effort while traveling around the shoreline in varying depths and distances from shore. Bluegill comprised the bulk of the fish sample in this assessment as 32 were measured ranging from 2.5 to 7.9 inches in length. Mean size of Bluegills was 5.2 inches. A total of only 6 Largemouth Bass were netted and measured ranging in length from 6.5 to 19.7 inches. Three Black Crappie were captured with the largest being 8 inches. Daytime electrofishing proved to be a somewhat inefficient presumably due to the lake's soft water. Fish were frequently observed moving ahead of the electrical field and evading capture.
