History & Status of the Fishery

Stone Lake is a 99-acre, class 30 lake, located near Victoria in Carver County. Test netting revealed a fish community consisting of black bullhead, brown bullhead, golden shiner, green sunfish, hybrid sunfish, hybrid muskellunge, and white crappie. Winterkill is common during hard winters. Although Stone Lake borders Carver Park Reserve (Three Rivers Park), no public access exists. Stone Lake was stocked with muskellunge transplant fingerlings in 1991 and hybrid muskellunge fingerling transplants in 2000. Approximately 1,100 muskellunge fingerlings were harvested and stocked in area lakes during late fall 1991. The spring 2000 hybrid muskellunge transplant stocking produced no fall fingerlings, likely due to high white crappie abundance. This assessment was performed to update lake information and evaluate potential for future muskellunge rearing.

One hybrid muskellunge measuring approximately 34 inches was sampled in a trap net. This fish is likely a remnant from the 2000 hybrid muskellunge transplant stocking. Future muskellunge rearing may be limited due to high numbers of green sunfish and white crappies.

White crappie relative abundance (17.8/trap net) exceeded the upper quartile for class 30 lakes. Trap net caught white crappies averaged 7.7 inches with the largest specimen measuring 11.7 inches. Nearly 86% of the white crappie population was below 9.0 inches.

Green and hybrid sunfish were present in varying numbers. 329 green sunfish (54.8/trap net), averaging 5.8 inches, and 47 hybrid sunfish (7.8/trap net), averaging 7.1 inches, were sampled by trap nets. Green sunfish relative abundance exceeded the upper quartile for class 30 lakes by a factor of 27.

Golden shiner numbers (4.5/gill net; 2.8/trap net) exceeded the upper quartile for class 30 lakes for both gear types. Although golden shiners were sampled by shore seining in 1991, no specimens were sampled by gill and trap nets.

Bullhead relative abundances are down from the 1991 assessment. The 1991 assessment revealed black and brown bullheads in excess of both state and local averages. Two gill nets in 2006 caught only 2 black bullheads and one brown bullhead. On the contrary, six trap nets sampled 107 black bullheads (17.8/trap net) averaging 9.0 inches. Trap nets sampled black bullheads with the normal range for class 30 lakes.

Not only will you not have to go to court if you fish this lake, but it also is not illegal to fish the lake. The county uses the lake as a "tiger Musky" reservoir. the stocked over 15,000 tigers into that lake in 2006, thus the fishing being outstanding. The problem occurs getting on the lake. no boat access, if you park off the road police will ticket or tow the car. must park up the road at the park and walk with your boat. No gas motors on the lake. If you are looking for an adventure lake this is the one for you. almost impossible to get to but you will catch 15 muskies in a day without breaking a sweat. Great fun lake to fish, but you have to be willing to put in the work.
