History & Status of the Fishery

A standard survey was conducted on Hanging Horn Lake during the summer of 2015 to evaluate and update information about fish populations and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Lake Trout stocking program.

Lake Trout is the primary management species for Hanging Horn Lake. Over 25,000 yearling Lake Trout have been stocked into the lake since 2007. Zero Lake Trout were captured in 2015 for a gillnet abundance of 0.0 per lift. Six special deep water gillnets were also set targeting Lake Trout. No Lake Trout were captured in the deep gillnets either. The 2010 assessment captured two Lake Trout for a deep gillnet abundance of 0.3 per lift, but both specimens were age-1 and had been recently stocked. The lack of Lake Trout captured suggests that Hanging Horn is unsuitable for Lake Trout management. Lake Trout likely are not surviving the warm summer months due to low dissolved oxygen levels and thermal stress in the deeper areas of the lake.

Walleye abundance of 1.1 per gillnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota lakes. Walleye average length was 12.5 inches and 1.7 pounds. Several year-classes of young walleye were evident in the sample suggesting angling for Walleye may improve in the next few years as these year-classes mature.

Tullibee abundance of 36.1 per gillnet lift was well above average compared to other Minnesota lakes. Tullibee gillnet average length was 10.6 inches. Angling and/or sport netting opportunities for Tullibee are exceptional in Hanging Horn Lake. Hanging Horn consistently has the highest abundance of Tullibee in the Duluth Area.

Northern Pike abundance of 0.9 per gillnet lift was below average compared to other Minnesota Lakes. However, average size was good at 26.4 inches with fish up to 38.7 inches present. Although Northern Pike are present in low abundance, quality size fish are available in Hanging Horn Lake.

Black Crappie abundance of 3.7 per trapnet lift was above average compared to other Minnesota lakes. Average length was 8.1 inches with fish up to 10 inches sampled. Bluegill abundance was average at 11.8 per trapnet lift. Average length was 6.7 inches but only 12% exceeded 8 inches.

One Brook Trout was captured for a gillnet abundance of 0.1 per lift. The fish was 13.7 inches in length and was from the 2011 year-class. The origin of this fish is unknown but it likely emigrated from a cold water stream connected to the Moosehorn River which flows through Hanging Horn Lake. Historically, one other Brook Trout was captured in Hanging Horn during an assessment in 1993.
