History & Status of the Fishery
Junco Lake is a natural brook trout lake, and the population is probably sustained by recruitment from the Junco River, a designated trout stream supporting a wild brook trout population. This assessment was the first scheduled in the 2010 management plan for the lake, to monitor the lake's fish community.
Brook trout were present in average numbers in 2012, but were smaller than average for a stream trout lake in this area. The brook trout gill net catch in 2012 fell within the normal range (2.50-14.25 fish/set) for spring assessments of stream trout lakes in Cook County. Although brook trout taken in 2012 were small, their small size was typical of past results in this lake, where the population resembles a stream population more than a typical lake population. Three age classes, all naturally produced, contributed to the 2012 catch. Compared to other lakes in the area, growth had been slow. Two-year-old fish reached a mean length of 7.2 inches at the end of their second year, compared to an average of 9.4 inches for area stream trout lakes. Although slow for a lake population, brook trout growth was still somewhat faster than typically seen in streams in this area, where fish typically reach a average length of just 6.4 inches in two years of growth.
Slow brook trout growth may have been due in part to marginal water temperatures in this very shallow lake. Heavy competition for invertebrate and other forage from a very dense white sucker population, and high numbers of creek chubs, no doubt also restricted brook trout growth. The white sucker gill net catch far exceeded the normal range for the lake class, but was typical for this lake historically. The low mean weight for white sucker taken in gill nets was also typical for this lake.
