History & Status of the Fishery
Brook trout abundance appeared to have been unusually low in Turnip Lake in the fall of 2005. Low numbers were offset by the high average size of the brook trout that were present. Brook trout as large as 20.5 inches were observed, and most of the fish taken were over 15 inches in length. Turnip lake supported an estimated population of just 42 brook trout in late September 2005 (19 to 105 fish, at a 95% confidence level). That estimate was low compared to other lakes in the area, and compared to past estimates made on Turnip Lake.No undesirable fish species were collected in Turnip lake in 2005, as has been the case in all other past assessments. Other than brook trout, the lake is known to support a small number of minnow species.The special regulations covering Turnip lake were changed in 2005 to make this a catch-and-release only lake. The lake is closed to winter fishing. Only artificial lures and flies, with a single hook, may be used.
