What aquatic invasive species are found in Fish Lake?
Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.
History & Status of the Fishery
Fish Lake is a 29 acre lake managed by the Fishing in the Neighborhood Program and the City of Eagan. The lake has a boat access (electric motors only), a fishing pier, and shore fishing areas for anglers. The lake supports a diverse fish community and was previously stocked with Channel Catfish from 1998-2002. Catfish stocking was discontinued after the 2002 survey did not turn up any evidence of stocking success in this lake. Subsequent surveys in 2008 and 2013 also did not sample any Channel Catfish.
Northern Pike abundance is low when compared to past surveys, but the fish sampled were of a quality size, averaging 26 inches long. The number of Northern Pike sampled has shown a steady decrease in each survey from a high of 28 per gillnet in 2002 to ten per gillnet in 2013. The average size and weight has shown the opposite trend though with larger fish showing up in each survey. This trend will need to be monitored for future management activities regarding this species, finding a balance between size and numbers of fish. One 7.1 inch long Largemouth Bass was sampled, the gear types used in this survey do not effectively sample this species so inferences cannot be made regarding the population size or fish quality at this time.
Bluegill were small in length but, the numbers observed in this survey were within the normal range for this lake class, with no fish measuring over seven inches long. Black Crappie had the lowest catch rate on record, with only five fish sampled (85 fish sampled in 2008) and the largest measuring eight inches long. Small Black Crappie are typical in Fish Lake, with only three fish measuring over eight inches sampled in the past four surveys. The low abundance of Black Crappie observed in this survey is not alarming and may be due to the boom/bust nature of Black Crappie populations. Pumpkinseed Sunfish, Green Sunfish and Hybrid Sunfish were sampled in low numbers and of a small size during this survey. Yellow Perch were not sampled in the 2013 survey.
