History & Status of the Fishery
North Union Lake is a small, relatively shallow basin in a chain of three small lakes that connect Lake Brophy to Lake Cowdry. The other lakes in this chain include Stoney and Lottie. Total surface acreage of the three lakes is 253 acres. The three lakes are treated as one in terms of fish management. Management activities on this chain of lakes have been limited to periodic fish population surveys. The Division of Fisheries has not stocked fish into any of these lakes because there is no legal public access. Access to these lakes must be gained through culverts from lakes Brophy and Cowdry. Culvert size and water level can restrict the size of boats that can access these lakes. All three lakes support abundant and diverse aquatic plant communities. Submergent vegetation is dense in most shallow areas and the shoreline is fringed with common cattail. These lakes also support beds of hardstem bulrush and wild rice. Water lily is also common throughout the three lakes. These aquatic plants provide valuable fish habitat and help maintain water quality in lakes. The fish communities present in these three lakes are quite similar and typical of small, densely vegetated lakes in west-central Minnesota. Northern pike, largemouth bass, and sunfish provide most of the fishing opportunities in this chain of lakes. These species are all relatively abundant, but average size tends to be small. Anglers tend to target these lakes when high winds force them off of the larger lakes. Anglers also fish for black crappie on these lakes in the spring, prior to the walleye opener. Walleye likely move throughout the chain from the other lakes and are present in low numbers.
