History & Status of the Fishery
Little Sand Lake (ID# 11-0092) is a 403-acre lake about 4 miles NW of Remer, MN. A Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) public access with a concrete ramp is located on the west side of the lake off of Cass County Rd # 4. Little Sand Lake has a maximum depth of 12 feet. The MNDNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Little Sand Lake is in Lake Class 39; lakes in this class are generally shallow with a high percentage of the basin less than 15 feet deep, and they have a regular-shaped shoreline, with few bays or points. The lake is managed primarily for Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike and secondarily for Yellow Perch.
Northern Pike were very abundant in the 2013 sampling. Northern Pike up to 29 inches were sampled, however most were 20 to 24 inches. Black Crappie abundance was similar to other Lake Class 39 populations. Though most were less than six inches long, some fish longer than 9 inches were found. Bluegill were very abundant, though almost all were shorter than 6 inches. Pumpkinseed Sunfish were also abundant, and some Pumpkinseed Sunfish from 6 to 8 inches in length were found. Largemouth Bass abundance compared favorably with other lakes of this type and bass from 8 to 18 inches long were sampled. Few Yellow Perch were collected, likely due to the high number of Northern Pike present in Little Sand Lake. The 2013 catch rate of Walleye in Little Sand Lake was also very low despite stocking efforts.
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 Sand 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 resources office.
Additional information on all of these topics can be found on the MNDNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us) or by contacting the Walker Area Fisheries office.
