History & Status of the Fishery
Sieverson Lake is a small, relatively undeveloped, non-meandered lake surrounded by a mixed hardwood and coniferous forest. There is only one lakeshore home and one individual owns the majority of the surrounding shoreland. There is a state-owned public access on the north shore off State Highway 34. The lake's small size and popularity as an angling lake appear to make its fish populations susceptible to over-fishing.
Five lake surveys have been done on this lake since it was initially surveyed in 1983. The most recent was in 2014. Sieverson Lake is ecologically best suited to Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and panfish like Bluegills and Black Crappies. In 2014, Northern Pike catches were high and average sizes were low. The average length of sampled pike was 19.6 inches and the average weight was 1.6 pounds. No pike larger than 29 inches were found. Bluegills and Black Crappies were sampled at normal rates of abundance compared to other ecologically similar lakes. Largemouth Bass numbers were down somewhat in 2014, but sizes were good. Average lengths for Bluegill, Black Crappie, and Largemouth Bass were 6.3, 9.4, and 14.1 inches, respectively. Approximately 14% of mature Bluegills were longer than eight inches and 28% of mature Black Crappie were over 10 inches in length. Bluegills in Sieverson Lake are somewhat slow growing and about eight or nine years are required to produce an eight-inch fish. Small lakes with moderate to heavy fishing pressure and slow growth rates can be vulnerable to over-fishing, leading to further stunting and a lack of large Bluegills in the fishery. Consequently, anglers are encouraged to release a portion of larger fish and keep smaller ones for eating.
There is very little, if any, natural reproduction of Walleye in Sieverson Lake and periodic stocking sustains the modest population that exists. Walleye fingerlings have been stocked approximately biennially since their introduction in 1984. Walleye numbers are low, but still considered normal compared to similar lakes. Walleye sizes tend to be larger than normal and the average length of sampled Walleye was 22 inches.
Other fish species sampled in this lake in 2014 include Yellow Bullhead, Pumpkinseed, hybrid sunfish, and yellow perch. Perch numbers have been very low during the past two fisheries surveys and the large numbers of pike are likely keeping the Yellow Perch population suppressed.
