History & Status of the Fishery
Mayo Lake is a 155 acre lake located just south of Pequot Lakes in Crow Wing County. There is an undesignated and undeveloped access on State owned property at the south end of the lake. The lake is moderately developed with 15 homes/cabins per shoreline mile based on 1997 data. The maximum depth is 22' and about 95% of the lake is 15' deep or less. Shallow water substrates consist primarily of sand and gravel. The lake's aquatic plant community is moderately diverse with 31 species present in 2003 and is critical to maintaining healthy fish populations. Emergent plants such as bulrush and water lillies are common along much of the shoreline. It is essential to protect and maintain these plants as they are important for shoreline protection, maintaining water quality, and provide critical habitat for bass and panfish species. Submerged plants provide food and cover needed by fish and other aquatic species. Northern pike were caught in the highest numbers to date in 2007 at 13.3/gill net. Average length and weight were above average at 23.4" and 2.9 lbs. with 33% of these fish measuring at least 24". The 2003 and 2004 year classes each accounted for 30% of the catch and measuring approximately 18 to 23". Two walleyes were caught in 2007 (0.7/gill net). Only 3 other walleyes have been caught in all previous surveys. The few fish that are present likely migrate upstream via Mayo Creek from Upper Gull Lake. The 2007 bluegill catch of 39.2/trap net is the highest catch to date, and considered above average when compared to similar lakes. Black crappies were present in average numbers at 2.0/gill net and 1.7/trap net. No yellow perch were sampled in 2007.
