History & Status of the Fishery
Quamba Lake is a shallow, fertile, turbid lake subject to irregular winterkills. Winterkill of some severity has been recorded ten times since 1959. The current management plan lists northern pike and walleye as primary species and largemouth bass, bluegill, and black crappie as secondary species.
Biennial fry stocking combined with some natural reproduction has established a walleye fishery of normal numbers for the lake type. Current stocking plans have switched the fry stocking to a yearly occurrence. Quality sized walleye are present with fish averaging 21.8 inches and 3.8 pounds.
Northern pike have been self sustaining since stocking ceased in 1995. Pike numbers have shown a moderate increase since the 2005 information. They are present in fishable numbers and, with fish over 30 inches available, their size should be acceptable to anglers.
Likewise bluegill and black crappie provide quality angling at normal densities for the lake type. Black crappie averaged 9 inches and half a pound in the trap nets while 21% of the bluegill exceeded 8 inches.
Based on night electrofishing results, the largemouth bass abundance was lower than in previous assessments. The population is still dominated by fish larger than 12 inches. The lack of juvenile bass in consecutive electrofishing samples is puzzling. Perhaps low winter oxygen levels are playing a role in bass recruitment.
Quamba Lake receives light to moderate fishing pressure. During the 2010 assessment the majority of anglers were targeting panfish. Walleye angling is popular earlier in the season. Public access is available on the southwest shore with limited parking.
