History & Status of the Fishery
Because Loft Lake is stocked with brook trout fingerlings in mid fall of even years, this early-fall even-year population assessment would be expected to sample mostly two-year-old brook trout. Four-year-old fish brook trout are rarely encountered in fall. All brook trout caught in this September 2014 assessment were two years of age. The number caught (14.0 fish/net) was at the upper end of the normal range for catches in fall assessments of Grand Marais-area brook trout lakes. Catches in past odd-year assessments, when one- and three-year-old fish have been present, have not exceeded 14.5 fish/net. Mean weight of brook trout taken in 2014 was slightly higher than average for fall catches in lakes in this area. Brook trout collected in 2014 ranged from 10.2 inches to 14.5 inches, and averaged 12.0 inches. Growth rates of brook trout had been very close to average for this class of lake and for lakes in the Grand Marais area. Results of this even-year assessment, and the scarcity of three-year-old fish in past odd-year assessments, suggest that in even years adequate numbers of brook trout can be present to support angling, with numbers similar to odd years, but with fewer fish over 15 inches present. In odd years one- and three-year-old fish should be present in the lake. One-year-old fish would be abundant, but for most of the open water season most would be under 10 inches. Three-year-old fish would be less abundant, but should exceed 12 inches in spring and may exceed 16 inches in the fall.
