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.
THE PRESENT FISH POPULATION IS DOMINATED BY BLHS, SMALL CEN, CATOSTOMIDS AND CYPRINIDS. BLGS AND BLBS WERE SAMPLED WELL ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS; BLG AVERAGED 12.06 FISH PER POUND AND HAVE A PSD=10.1. BLBS AVERAGED 8.5-8.9 INCHES TOTAL LENGTH AND 2.88 FISH PER POUND. CARP WERE SAMPLED SLIGHTLY ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS FOR NUMBER, BUT WELL ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS FOR POUNDS PER SET FOR GILLNETS. CARP WERE SAMPLED WELL ABOVE TRAPNET MEDIANS. CAPTURED CARP AVERAGED 20.0 INCHES TOTAL LENGTH AND 4.19 POUNDS PER INDIVIDUAL. WTS AND NOP WERE SAMPLED NEAR MEDIAN LEVELS FOR GILLNETS AND WELL ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS FOR TRAPNETS. SAMPLED NOP EXHIBITED A CALCULATED RSD = 76.92% FOR COMBINED GEAR TYPES. NOP GROWTH RATE APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY BELOW THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE. STOCKING OF LMB BY PRIVATE PERMIT ISSUED TO THE SWEENEY LAKE ASSOCIATION IS CONTRIBUTING ANOTHER PREDATOR SPECIES TO THE OVERALL POPULATION. GROWTH RATE FOR INDIVIDUALS SAMPLED IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE AND SEVERL YOY LMB WERE CAPTURED DURING SHORELINE SEINING. BLC WERE SAMPLED ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS FOR GILLNETS, BUT BELOW FOR TRAPNETS. WHC AND YEP WERE ALSO CAPTURED DURING THIS SURVEY, BUT IN LOW NUMBERS. SEVERAL SAB WERE SAMPLED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE INITIAL SURVEY IN 1960. YEBS ARE ALSO PRESENT AND WERE SAMPLED ABOVE MEDIAN LEVELS FOR NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS PER TRAPNET SET.
