History & Status of the Fishery
Brook Trout were abundant in Topper Lake in 2015, and their average size was within the normal range (0.40-1.17 lb/fish) for Brook Trout taken spring assessments in this area. The gill net catch of 16.00 Brook Trout/set exceeded the goal from the 2008 lake management plan (10.0 brook trout/set). All recent stockings were represented in the catch, and Brook Trout as old as four years were collected. Growth rates were below area averages for all ages sampled (1-4). Three-year-old fish reached a mean length of 10.6 inches by the end of their third year, compared to an area average of 12.7 inches.
The presence of relatively high numbers of three- and four-year-old fish indicated harvest in this lake was probably not excessive. Results of this assessment seemed to indicate that survival of stocked fish was excellent. Good survival allowed the lake to provide relatively high quality fishing opportunities despite slower than average growth.
No exotic or undesirable fish species were collected in 2015. As has been the case in past surveys high numbers of potential forage fish were collected in quarter-inch wire minnow traps. Fathead Minnows appeared very abundant, with lower numbers of Brook Stickleback also captured.
