History & Status of the Fishery
Orange Lake is found in ecological lake class #29 but has an alternate class of #20. It is a centrarchid lake that historically has had some smallmouth and largemouth bass and no northern pike and walleye. Since the lake is only 86 acres, only four gill nets and four trap nets were set. Because of this, the information from this netting must be viewed cautiously, a spring muskellunge assessment was also conducted this year. The summer and spring data together provide a rather good perspective as to what is happening on this lake.This assessment again sampled no walleye or northern pike. No smallmouth bass were sampled in the nets but one was captured in the shoreline seining. Muskellunge are still present, but from the spring netting, only a very small number still exists. Largemouth bass have increased to high levels, as indicated by the gill net catch of 5.8. The lake class first and third quartile for this species is 0.4 and 1.8, respectively.Yellow perch are at high levels, as indicated by the gill net CPUE of 39.8. This is above the third quartile of 23.5.Bluegill and black crappie appear to be present at low numbers, as indicated by both gill net and trap net indices. Both are below the first quartile for both types of gear.Due to the low numbers of fish sampled only aging was done.
