History & Status of the Fishery
The species composition and size structure of the fish population in Otter Lake is indicative of a body of water that periodically winterkills. Restocking after these events has not been necessary due to the connecting channel to Bald Eagle Lake. An aeration system has been installed and is operated by Ramsey County Public Works as needed to prevent extensive winterkills of fish. Northern Pike (NOP) were sampled above the median level for abundance in gill nets. The 16.50 fish/set in 2013 is the second highest gill net catch rate of NOP ever recorded for this lake (39.0 fish/set in 1997). The average size NOP captured was approximately 17.26 inches and 1.42 pounds. Over 12 percent of sampled NOP measured 26.0 inches or larger. Bluegills (BLG) were sampled above the median level for abundance in trap nets. The average size of BLG sampled in trap nets was 7.03 inches and 0.34 pounds. Approximately 63 percent of BLG captured measured 7 inches or longer. Two Black Crappies (BLC) were captured during the sampling and measured 5.6 and 8.5 inches. Only one Largemouth Bass (LMB) was captured during this assessment and measured 7.36 inches.
