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.
Typo is a shallow lake (maximum depth 5 ft) prone to winterkill, and is part of the Sunrise River system. Walleye, Black Crappie, White Crappie, Northern Pike, and Bluegill are the most abundant gamefish in Typo Lake, and Walleye are the primary management species on Typo Lake with 295,000 fry stocked in odd numbered years. Twenty two Walleyes were sampled in gill nets at a rate of 11 per net. This is below the rate of 21 per net recorded in the last gill net survey in 1999, but still above average for Typo lake. Black Crappies were sampled at rate of 29.5 per net in the gill nets and 2.2 per net in the trap nets. White Crappie were sampled at a rate of 1 fish per net in the gill nets and 3.33 fish per net in the trap nets. These rates are average to above average for both species. Northern Pike were sampled at a rate of 7.5 per gill net. This is a significant increase from the last gillnet survey in 1999, and pike over 30 inches were sampled.
