History & Status of the Fishery
Green Lake is the largest lake in the Chisago City area. It has three distinct basins: the north end, which is commonly called Little Green, the large windswept main basin, and the southern end, which consists of shallow bays with abundant vegetation. Green and blue-green algaes flourish in the summer, with average water clarity around 4.2 feet. The lakeshore is heavily developed, with 335 homes. Two invasive plant species, Eurasian watermilfoil and curlyleaf pondweed, are present.
Walleye management includes annual fingerling stocking at a rate of 0.8 pounds per littoral acre (1,000 pounds) and a 17 inch minimum harvest regulation. Walleye abundance remains within the normal range for this lake type. However, catch rates continue to trend downward despite the change from biennial to annual stocking. Yellow Perch, a key Walleye forage, has been in low abundance since the 1991 assessment. Despite the 17 inch minimum length regulation, most of the Walleye measured during the assessment exceeded 17 inches in length.
Green Lake continues to support a quality Northern Pike population, with an average length of 25 inches and fish in the mid-thirties present. Largemouth Bass are abundant with about one-quarter of adult bass 14 inches or longer. Requiring 6 to 7 years to reach a length of 12 inches, bass growth remains slow.
Black Crappie and Bluegill are the species most frequently caught by anglers on Green Lake, and abundance of both species is normal compared to similar lakes. Although some larger individuals are present, anglers will most often encounter 7-8 inch Black Crappies and 6 inch Bluegills.
