History & Status of the Fishery
Dyers Lake is 69 acres with 85% littoral area, having a maximum depth of 23 feet and is located approximately 4 miles west-southwest of Schroeder, MN. The back-in gravel access at the end of Cook County Road #30 is about 0.6 mile south of Cook County Road #1. There is a small parking area and small dock at this site.
A special regulation restricting the daily and possession bag limit of Bluegill and Black Crappie to five fish of each species was enacted in May 2006 to limit the exploitation of the developing Bluegill and Black Crappie brood stock populations in Dyers Lake. This special regulation will be reviewed along with the Dyers Lake management plan by March 2016. This (2014) population assessment was the third investigation designed to monitor the special regulation.
The average size of Black Crappie in the 2014 assessment was 5.6 inches; the largest was 13.1 inches (1.1 pounds). There were gaps noted in the Black Crappie reproduction, based on the scale ageing, these missing year-classes should allow for good growth of the two and three year-old fish present in the population in 2014. Two strong years of Black Crappie reproduction in 2011 and 2012 bodes well for crappie angling in Dyers Lake over the next few years.
Bluegill numbers sampled in 2014 were the highest recorded in Dyers Lake since the introduction in 1999 and above average for lakes with similar characteristics having Bluegill populations. The average size of the Bluegill sample was 6.3 inches (0.25 pound) the largest 10.0 inches (0.9 pound). Three good years of Bluegill reproduction in 2010, 2011 and 2012 should provide quality Bluegill angling for some years.
Northern Pike and Yellow Perch are also present in Dyers Lake in numbers that may interest anglers. The average size of the Northern Pike sampled was 21.9 inches with thirty-nine percent greater than 24 inches; the largest Northern Pike sampled was 28.4 inches (5 pounds). The Yellow Perch averaged 7.0 inches with seventeen percent greater than 8 inches; the largest Yellow Perch was 9.6 inches (0.4 pound).
