History & Status of the Fishery
Lotus is a 246-acre, Class 24 lake located in Chanhassen in Carver County. It is primarily managed for Walleye and Largemouth Bass. A Standard Survey was conducted during mid-July 2015 to assess the gamefish populations in the lake.
Walleye abundance was moderately high; the catch rate of 6.2 fish per gill net was between the median and 75th percentile for this Lake Class. Twenty-nine percent of the fish exceeded 15 inches, and 6 percent exceeded 20 inches. Mean length and weight in gill nets were 15.1 inches and 1.24 lbs, with the largest fish measuring 24.5 inches.
Bluegill were moderately abundant in 2015; the catch rate of 44.0 fish per trap net was between the median and 75th percentile for this Lake Class. Ninety-three percent of the fish were 6 inches or greater, and 16 percent were 7 inches or greater. The largest measured- from all sampling-was 7.8 inches. Mean length and weight were 6.6 inches and 0.22 lbs.
An abundance of small-sized Black Crappie were caught in the gill nets. The catch rate of 36.8 fish per net is more than double the 75th percentile for this Lake Class. The average size of fish was 4.6 inches and 0.05 pounds; 96 percent of the fish were smaller than 5 inches. The largest gill netted Black Crappie was 8.8 inches.

Compared to other Class 24 lakes, 1.4 fish per gill net is considered low (below the first quartile). Mean size (0.14 lbs) has improved over the previous assessments; however it is average (near to the median of 0.13 lbs) compared to other Class 24 lakes. Yellow Perch were between 6 and 8.2 inches, averaging 7.2 inches.
