History & Status of the Fishery
Emily Lake is a 664 acre lake located in Northern Crow Wing County. The city of Emily is located off the northwest corner of the lake. Emily is a fairly shallow lake, with a max depth of only 15 ft. Water clarity is limited to 3.5 feet, due to the water being bog stained. A public access is located on southwest corner of the lake. A channel provides access to Mary Lake.
Walleyes were first stocked in 1911, with regular stocking starting in 1980. Since 2002 walleye fry have been stocked in 2 out of 3 years. The 2012 gillnet catch of 0.7/net, was the lowest catch to date. Previous surveys ranged from 1.9/gillnet (2000) to 9.7/gillnet (1974). The average size was quite nice at 21 inches and 3.4 lbs.
The northern pike gillnet catch was below average at 4.2/net. The average size was 23 inches long and 2.8 lbs, with 40% being over 24 inches. Growth was average.
The black crappie gillnet catch was above average at 14.3/gillnet. Average length in gillnets was only 6.9 inches. The trapnet catch was average at 4.5/trapnet. Average length in trapnets was 8 inches. For both net types combined, 38% of the crappies were over 8 inches in length. The bluegill trapnet catch of 3.4/trapnet was average. The average length was 6.7 inches, with 30% over 7 inches.
The yellow perch catch rate of 74.0/gillnet was well above average. Although numerous in Emily, yellow perch are not sought after by anglers since most are quite small, with only 1% measuring over 8 inches. However they do provide a valuable forage base for walleyes and northern pike.
Other fish sampled included black bullhead, yellow bullhead, brown bullhead, bowfin, largemouth bass, white sucker, pumpkinseed sunfish, and golden shiner. Additional species sampled during IBI backpack electrofishing and seining included spottail shiner, Iowa darter, Johnny darter, central mudminnow, and tadpole madtom.
