History & Status of the Fishery
Christmas Lake is a 265-acre class 23 lake in Hennepin County. A public boat access is located on the north side of the lake, however parking is limited. Christmas Lake is unique because it is one of the few lakes in the Metro Region that can support a two-story fishery. This means sufficient oxygen levels and cool water temperatures in deeper portions of the lake allow the over-summer survival of cold-water species, while warm-water species inhabit the warmer water above the thermocline. Thus, rainbow trout and occasionally brown trout have been stocked since 1986 to utilize this unique resource. A total of 21 rainbow trout were sampled which represents the highest catch of rainbow trout in Christmas Lake to date. Mean length and weight was 19.5 inches and 3.5 pounds for gill net caught rainbow trout. Bluegill abundance is high for this type of lake. Thirtyfour percent of bluegills are larger than 7 inches and individuals up to 8.2 inches were sampled. Pumpkinseed, hybrid, and green sunfish were also sampled but at considerably lower densities. Northern pike in Christmas Lake are abundant but tend to be small. Average length was 19.6 inches and mean weight was 1.92 pounds. Despite the small average size, 19 percent are longer than 25 inches, which has increased from 5 percent in 2001. Thirteen largemouth bass were sampled representing 5 year classes, ranging from 2 - 7 years old. Mean length was 6.8 inches and mean weight was 0.3 pounds. Although not overly abundant, other species of interest to anglers are black crappie, and yellow perch.
