History & Status of the Fishery
Three Island Lake is a 173-acre lake located near Longville, MN. The lake has 7.52 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 13 feet. Ninety percent of the shoreline is undeveloped woodland, 5% is cropland or pasture, and 5% is bog. A U. S. Forest Service-owned public access is located on the northeast side of the lake. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) has classified Minnesotas lakes into 43 different lake classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Three Island Lake is in Lake Class 37. Class 37 lakes are small, shallow, eutrophic lakes best suited for bass and panfish. Three Island Lake offers good opportunities for anglers seeking northern pike, largemouth bass, and bluegill in a pristine setting where most of the shoreline is public land. Northern pike are abundant, but generally run small. Average size was 19.82 inches and 1.74 pounds, with the largest northern pike sampled measuring 29.1 inches in length and 5.3 pounds. Most of the largemouth bass sampled were small, with an average length of 10.7 inches, however fish up to 17.9 inches in length are present. Bluegill are abundant, but generally small. The average length of bluegill sampled from all gear was 5.2 inches. Fish over 8 inches in length are uncommon. Black crappie numbers are near average for this lake class. The average length of sampled fish from all gear was 8.0 inches and lengths ranged from 4.2 to 12.6 inches. Other species available to anglers are yellow perch and pumpkinseed. Anglers can help maintain or improve the quality of fishing by practicing selective harvest. Selective harvest allows for the harvest of smaller fish for table fare, but encourages release of medium- to large-sized fish. Releasing these fish can help maintain balance in the fish community in Three Island Lake and provide anglers the opportunity to catch more and larger fish in the future. Shoreline areas on the land and into the shallow water provide essential habitat for fish and wildlife that live in or near Minnesotas lakes. Overdeveloped shorelines cant support the fish, wildlife, and clean water that are associated with natural undeveloped lakes. Shoreline habitat consists of aquatic plants, woody plants and natural lake bottom soils. Plants in the water and at the waters edge provide habitat, prevent erosion and absorb excess nutrients. Shrubs, trees, and woody debris such as fallen trees or limbs provide good habitat both above and below the water and should be left in place. By leaving a buffer strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline, property owners can reduce erosion, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat and travel corridors for wildlife.
