History & Status of the Fishery
Little Pine Lake is located between Farm Island and Hickory lakes on the Ripple River, approximately six miles south of Aitkin. Access can be gained from Farm Island Lake or from the DOT wayside rest on State Highway 169 between Little Pine and Hickory lakes. The lake is 220 acres with nearly half the lake being less than 15 feet deep and a maximum depth of 44 feet. Shallow water substrates consist primarily of sand and gravel, though areas of rubble, silt, and muck are present as well. The aquatic plant community is relatively diverse with 30 species present and is integral to maintaining good water quality as well as maintaining healthy fish populations. Emergent plants such as bulrush are important for shoreline protection, maintaining water quality, and provide essential spawning habitat for bass and panfish species. Submerged plants provide food and cover needed by fish and other aquatic species.
Walleye have only been stocked once in 1985 and the current population likely exists primarily via movement from adjacent basins. The 2010 walleye catch of 0.7/gill net was similar to past catches which average 1.3/gill net. Average length and weight were 19.4" and 2.3 lbs.
The northern pike catch was above average when compared to similar lakes at 8.8/gill net in 2010. Past catches have ranged from 6.3 to 27.3/gill net with an average of 15.5/gill net. Average length and weight were 18.8" and 1.7 lbs with 15% measuring at least 24".
Yellow perch and tullibee are important forage species for the lake's game fish, though they are present only in low numbers. Yellow perch have never been abundant and were only sampled during seining in 2010. Only 2 tullibee were sampled in 2010, resulting in a low catch rate of 0.3/gill net.
Bluegill were caught in average numbers at 29.6/trap net. Size was respectable with 30% measuring at least 7". Black crappie catches have generally been low with catches ranging from 0.3 to 1.2/gill net and 0.3 to 1.0/trap net. The 2010 catch of 0.3/gill net and 0.5/trap net both remained low when compared to similar lakes. Size was decent with 88% measuring at least 8".
