What aquatic invasive species are found in Lake Le Homme Dieu?
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
Lake Le Homme Dieu is a 1,800-acre basin located on the northeast city limit of Alexandria and is part of the Alexandria Chain of Lakes. Navigable connections exist to Lake Carlos and Lake Geneva. The shoreline and most of the watershed are well developed. Water quality is good. Water transparency was 16 feet during the 2016 survey. Because of its clear water and close proximity to Alexandria, the lake is popular with anglers and recreational boaters. Boating pressure can be high on weekends during the summer. Two well-maintained accesses are available to the public. Rotary Beach Access is located on the northwest shoreline off County Road 42. Krueger's Creek Access is located along the northeast shoreline. The City of Alexandria maintains a public swimming beach on the southeast shoreline. Boaters should be cautious of marked navigation hazards on the lake. A shallow rock bar is located in the middle of the lake off the west shoreline. Shallow rock areas are also present off both points leading into the west bay (Bugaboo Bay).
Lake Le Homme Dieu sustains a modest Walleye fishery, which is supplemented with combined fingerling stockings by the DNR and a cooperative arrangement by the Lake Le Homme Dieu Association and Vikings Sportsmen Club, Inc. Gill net catch rates declined in 2016 to 2.9 Walleye/net. Average size of Walleyes caught during the survey was 16.4 inches.
Lake Le Homme Dieu supports abundant populations of Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Bluegill. Due to moderate fertility of the lake and moderate to high abundance of these fishes, growth rates can be slow. Fortunately, gamefishes in Lake Le Homme Dieu live to be quite old, thus it does support some larger fish. Seventy percent of the Largemouth Bass surveyed during the spring were 12.0 inches or longer. Some were estimated to be up to 17 years old. An 8.0-inch Bluegill may be 10 years old. Few Black Crappie are caught during summer surveys since larger fish move off-shore and are less vulnerable to capture in trap nets. Low catch rates recorded in surveys does not accurately reflect abundance and size. Lake Le Homme Dieu does support good crappie fishing. Yellow Perch numbers have consistently been low. Yellow Perch are preferred prey of Walleye, Northern Pike, and Largemouth Bass.
Quality fishing opportunities exist for many species in Lake Le Homme Dieu. Even modest harvest of older fish can degrade fishing quality. Anglers are encouraged to practice selective harvest to help maintain and improve the quality of the Lake Le Homme Dieu fishery. Selective harvest encourages the release of larger fish while allowing the harvest of more abundant smaller fish. Releasing medium to large fish will help restore and maintain fish community balance, as well as increase opportunities to catch large fish in the future.
Lake Le Homme Dieu was designated as an infested water after the discovery of zebra mussels in 2009. Eurasian watermilfoil was also discovered in 2012. Minnesota statutes require all equipment be free of invasive species prior to leaving any access. Recreational users should take necessary precautions to prevent the further spread of invasive species.
