History & Status of the Fishery

Little Bass Lake is a 114-acre lake located near Akeley, MN that has 3.67 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 16 ft. There is an US Forest Service earthen boat ramp on the northwest shore. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) has classified Minnesota lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Little Bass Lake is in Lake Class 36; lakes in this class are generally small with a very high percentage of shallow water area.
Abundance of Northern Pike in Little Bass Lake compared favorably to other area lakes in this class. Average weight of Northern Pike found in the 2014 assessment was about 4 pounds, and fish up to 37 inches were sampled. The number of Black Crappie collected in DNR test nets was similar to the number commonly found in this lake class. Black Crappie sampled had an average length of almost 8 inches, and fish up to 9 inches were found. Largemouth Bass were sampled by DNR electrofishing gear and fish from 8 to 16 inches were found with the average being 12 inches. Bluegill numbers compare favorably to other lakes in this class. Bluegill averaged almost 7 inches, and fish up to 8 inches were found. Abundance of yellow perch was similar to other lakes in this class. Average size for this species was just below 7 inches, and fish up to 8 inches were present.
People can have significant impacts on lakes and the fish populations they support. Harvest, lakeshore development, removal of shoreline vegetation, and introductions of invasive species can all adversely affect fish populations. Currently no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Little Bass Lake. AIS are moved from infested to non-infested waters by anglers, boaters, and lake shore owners and can adversely impact lakes and fish populations. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access. If you suspect an infestation of an invasive species in this lake, save a specimen and report it to a local natural resource office. Additional information on all of these topics can be found on the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us) or by contacting the Walker Area Fisheries office.
