History & Status of the Fishery
This small lake has a history of occasional winterkill and blue-green algal blooms. As in most winterkill lakes, black bullheads are the dominant fish species. However, Little Vanose can also provide good fishing for walleye, northern pike, bluegills, and, more recently, black crappie in-between winterkills.In 2005, test net catches showed near normal populations of northern pike and black bullhead compared to other class 39 lakes. Walleye catches were modest and all those caught were from the same 2003 year-class, which was stocked after the most recent partial winterkill. Black crappies were more abundant than during any previous survey. Most were small with and average length 6.5 inches and young at two to three years, but a few larger crappies were also found. Barring another winterkill in the near future, crappie fishing should be very good in another two to three years, when the majority of black crappie should reach one-half pound.Walleye fry are stocked every other year and in years after winterkill. The near future of the walleye fishery in Little Vanose hinges not only on winterkill, but also on the abundant black crappie. In lakes similar to this one, black crappies are believed to be a major predator on small walleyes and abundances of crappie can result in declines in walleye numbers.
