History & Status of the Fishery
Bartlett Lake is a 304 acre lake located on the northeastern edge of the town of Northome, MN. Bartlett is a highly productive lake that has a history of frequent winterkill events. Between winterkill events, Bartlett is capable of quickly rebounding to provide fish that are of interest to anglers. A winterkill event occurred in 2014, and in response to that event adult Black Crappie and Northern Pike have been stocked in the lake. A full population assessment was completed in July of 2016.
All but a few fish that were caught during the 2016 survey came from the 2014 or 2015 year class. This is due to the winterkill that occurred in 2014. As is typical for winterkill lakes, the growth of these young fish is rapid. Black Crappies are very abundant, and they are showing good growth with more than 11% of the fish already being over 8 inches. Northern Pike were less abundant than expected, but are also showing incredible growth with the 2 year old fish already averaging 4 pounds. Yellow Perch are also abundant, but the bulk of these will take longer to reach sizes that are of interest to anglers. However, a few perch were sampled that survived the winterkill of 2014, including one that was over 12 inches. Bartlett should provide a quality fishery for Black Crappie and Northern Pike if another winterkill doesn't occur.
