Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

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.
Webb Lake (DOW# 11-0311; Lake Class 27) is a 720-acre lake with 278 littoral acres, 7.1 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 84 feet located northeast of Hackensack, MN. There is a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) owned public access on the south shore. The lake is primarily managed for Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye, and secondarily for Black Crappie, Bluegill, and Yellow Perch. MNDNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Webb Lake is in lake class 27; lakes in this class are generally large, deep, and regularly shaped. Other area lakes in this class include Ada, Crooked, and Portage. Webb Lake is a great multi-species lake with potential to produce trophy size fish. Largemouth Bass were abundant with fish from 5 to 15 inches sampled. Management goals are based on spring electrofishing which was not conducted in 2025. Northern Pike are abundant yet below the maximum management goal. Northern Pike size structure goals were not met, with fish from 10 to 32 inches sampled. Walleye abundance has remained low and not met management goals since 2015. Lengths ranged from 15 to 23 inches with an average length of 18 inches. Moderate numbers of Black Crappie were sampled with fish from 4 to 12 inches present. Management goals are still being developed for this species in this lake. Bluegill catch rates exceeded the abundance goal and partially met size goals. Bluegills measuring up to 9 inches were present in the catch. Yellow Perch abundance was low and did not meet management goals. Perch up to 9 inches long were sampled. Three Smallmouth Bass were sampled ranging from 6 to 16 inches in length. This is the first time this species has been sampled in a standard lake survey in this lake. Other fish species sampled include, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass, White Sucker, and Yellow Bullhead. People can have significant impacts on lakes and the fish populations they support. Harvest, lakeshore development, removal of shoreline vegetation, and introductions of invasive species can all adversely affect fish populations. Currently, no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Webb Lake. AIS are moved from infested to non-infested waters by anglers, boaters, and lake shore owners and can adversely impact lakes and fish populations. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access. If you suspect an infestation of an…
