History & Status of the Fishery
Long Lake is located two miles east of Park Rapids in Hubbard County. Long Lake has a surface area of 1,974 acres and a maximum depth of 135 feet. Long Lake is eight miles long from the north to south end. Long Lake has moderate to heavy home/cabin development for this area and is a very popular lake for fishing and other water recreation. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesotas lakes into 43 different types based on physical and chemical characteristics. Long Lake is in lake class 22. Other Park Rapids area lakes in this same classification include: Big Sand, Lower Bottle, Kabekona, and Potato. Long Lake is a popular walleye lake and is known for producing some big fish. Long has a reputation of being a tricky lake to fish, probably due to the clear water and large area of deep water. Good numbers of walleye were sampled (9.2 walleye/gillnet). This is the highest walleye gillnet catch rate for all surveys going back to 1959, and above the current management goal of 6.0 walleye/gillnet. Sampled walleye had an average length and weight of 17.4 inches and 2.1 pounds. Important walleye forage species such as yellow perch and tullibee (cisco) were sampled in good numbers. The abundant walleye population currently found in Long Lake is the result of an aggressive and successful DNR stocking program. Age analysis showed that 91% of the walleye sample (127 of 140 walleye) corresponded to stocked years. Long Lake is stocked with walleye fingerlings during even years. Northern pike were sampled in moderate numbers (5.0 pike/gillnet), within the range "typical" for this lake class. Sampled northern pike had an average length and weight of 23.6 inches and 3.0 pounds, with fish measured up to 33.3 inches. A good tullibee (cisco) forage base provides the conditions to produce large pike. Black crappie fishing is popular right after ice-out on the north end of the lake in an area known as "the fill". Black crappie abundance in Long Lake has remained fairly stable, generally at low to moderate levels. Fishing for other panfish species is limited on Long Lake. While bluegill and pumpkinseed numbers are high, average size is poor (5.1 inches). Larger bluegill are present in Long, however, the size of bluegill is limited by very slow growth rates. Long Lake supports a healthy largemouth bass population, especially in the north and south bays were there is shallower water and good beds of submerged aquatic vegetation which provides excellent habitat. Anglers will find good numbers of bass in the 12-14 inch size range as well as larger fish. Other species sampled included in moderate abundance and similar to past surveys included white sucker, rock bass, and yellow bullhead. Shorthead redhorse, brown bullhead, and bowfin (dogfish) were sampled in low numbers.
