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 fishery was composed of winterkill species. Black Bullhead at 113.0/trap net were extremely abundant. Lengths of 4-5.5 inches were common in the catch. Small Green Sunfish were also plentiful (18.8/trap net). White Sucker have been introduced by a bait dealer, are mostly small, and were captured at a rate of 1.5/gill net.
