History & Status of the Fishery
Temperature and dissolved oxygen measurements from various depths from the surface to the bottom of the deepest part of the lake, 30 feet, indicated that habitat was suitable for stream trout from the lakes surface down to 25 feet. This indicates that the entire littoral zone, the shoal water that extends out to 15 feet, which is the most productive portion of the lake, is available for seeking food and cover. The rainbow trout catch was low in both gill nets, (0.5 fish/net), and inch trap nets, (0.4 fish/net), and as indicated by their size, 12-15 inches in length, they were likely all from the most recent spring stocking of 650 yearling fish. Golden shiners were abundant in the inch trap nets as their catch rate was 19.8 per lift while finescale dace and fathead minnows were sampled at lower rates of 1.0 and 0.1 respectively. The abundance of these species may provide adequate prey for other more piscivorous stream trout species such as brown trout or splake.
