History & Status of the Fishery
Edna Lake is a 156 acre lake in west-central Crow Wing County, just north of the city of Nisswa. The maximum depth is 63 feet. The primary management species for Edna are northern pike and walleye. A standard survey was conducted the week of June 15, 2015.
The northern pike catch rate was 5.2/gill net. This is close to average for lakes like Edna. The average size was 20.3" with fish as large as 32.3" measured. However, only 10 percent of the sampled northern pike were 24" or greater. In order to improve northern pike size, anglers are encouraged to harvest smaller northern pike and release the larger ones.
Walleyes are stocked in Edna Lake every third year. Each stocking consists of 45 pounds of walleye fingerlings. Only 3 walleyes were sampled in the 2015 survey with both gill nets and trap nets. These fish were 20.5", 24.3", and 25.8" in length. Although numbers may not be high, anglers that catch a walleye may be rewarded with a quality sized fish.
Panfish, both black crappie and bluegill, are also available to anglers. The black crappie catch rate was 3.6/trap net, which is above average for lakes like Edna. The average size was 8.3" with the largest being 10.2". About 81 percent of the sampled black crappies were 8" or larger. The bluegill catch rate was 25.4/trap net, which is slightly above average for lakes similar to Edna. Bluegills averaged 6.1" with fish up to 8.7" sampled. Nearly 27 percent of bluegills were 7" or larger.
Another option for anglers of Edna Lake is tullibee. They were sampled at 3.2/gill net, which is slightly below average for lakes like Edna. The size of some tullibee was impressive, with 7 fish measuring at least 18".
Some other fish species sampled include hybrid sunfish, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, rock bass, and yellow bullhead.
