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
North Union, Stony, and Lottie (Taylor) lakes form a chain of lakes between Brohpy and Cowdry Lakes in Douglas County. Lottie Lake is lower or third lake in the chain. Lottie Lake discharges to Lake Cowdry. None of basins have public landings, but anglers can utilize access sites on Cowdry and Brophy Lakes and navigate small watercraft throughout the chain via flowage channels. Large boats will be restricted by road crossings and undersized road culverts. The lakes are small and relatively unique in that shoreline development is limited and much of the natural shoreline remains intact. Water quality and clarity are very good. Near-shore areas support lush vegetative growth including bulrushes and water lilies. Habitat attributes constitute ideal environment for northern pike, largemouth bass, and bluegill sunfish.
Northern pike are abundant. Gillnet catches averaged 6.5/gillnet. Average size of pike captured in 2007 was about 20.0 inches, but individuals approaching 30.0 inches were measured. Pike do not grow fast in probable response to high summer water temperatures and limited yellow perch abundance. Anglers are encouraged to harvest "hammer-handle" pike to thin the population and promote a balanced fish community.
Bluegill accounted for most of the total gamefish catch. Population abundance is described as "moderate". Bluegill trapnet catches averaged 16.7/net. Size distribution of the population sample was fairly good. Average size of 2008 survey catches was 6.2 inches. A few 8.0 inch and larger bluegill were recorded.
Navigation restrictions prevented utilization of electrofishing equipment to sample the largemouth bass population in 2008. Habitat is excellent and prior survey statistics have described a moderately abundant population. Growth is relatively slow, so most bass are 12.0 - 15.0 inches in length.
Yellow and black bullhead carry unique importance in terms of water quality. Yellow bullheads prefer and do best in lakes with good water quality, while an abundant black bullhead population is indicative of poor water quality conditions. Presently, the North Union/Stony/Lottie chain has a survey catch ratio of about 2:1 yellow to black bullheads. Black bullhead abundance can be projected to increase should cumulative pressures of land use, shoreline development, and recreational boating increase. Thoughtful, low-impact residential development practices and environmentally-sensitive surface water use will help to ensure long-term sustainability of these quality lakes.
