History & Status of the Fishery
A lake survey in 1995 found an average abundance of walleye in Watonwan Lake. Quality in terms of size is good with over one half of the fish sampled being 16 inches or larger. Walleye up to 22 inches (4 pounds) were sampled. The walleye population is maintained thru natural reproduction and as is the case with many similar small lakes may experience frequent reproduction failures. Northern pike abundance is fairly high compared to other lakes in this class. Average size of northern pike sampled in the 1995 survey was 1.8 pounds with nearly one half of the fish in the 1.7 pound to 2.3 pound range. Fish up to 30 inches were sampled in the survey though they do not appear to be common. Access to the lake requires a one mile hike on a unmarked trail. Because of this and the relative unfamiliarity of the lake with anglers fishing pressure is light.
