What aquatic invasive species are found in Signalness Lake?
Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.
History & Status of the Fishery
Signalness (Mountain) Lake is a small, shallow basin located within the boundaries of Glacial Lakes State Park. Because this basin is located within state park boundaries, a vehicle permit is required to enter the park and access this lake. A fishing license is not required to fish Mountain Lake if you are a Minnesota resident. A public access is located on the west side of the lake. Canoe rental is available. Motorized watercraft are restricted to use electric motors only. A small fishing pier and swimming beach are also located on the southwest shoreline of the lake. Both are popular spots for park visitors during summer months.
Maximum depth of Mountain Lake is 13.0 feet, which makes it prone to partial winterkill. Anecdotal reports from park staff and previous survey results suggest the last major winterkill event occurred during the winter of 2008-2009. This partial winterkill event substantially reduced gamefish abundance and degraded the lake's fishery. Restorative stockings of adult Largemouth Bass occurred in 2010. A permanent aeration system was installed in 2012 to help reduce the threat of winterkill and minimize the negative impacts these events have on the fish community.
2015 survey results indicate the fish community has rebounded since the 2008-2009 winterkill event. Sunfish (Bluegill, Hybrid Sunfish, and Pumpkinseed) are now abundant but since most are young fish, average size is relatively small (less than 6.0 inches for all three species). Black Crappies are present but abundance is low. Only one crappie was captured during the 2015 survey. The Largemouth Bass population continues to rebound following re-stocking. Current abundance is considered low to moderate but natural reproduction is now occurring. Future increases in bass abundance are likely as this population continues to expand. Northern Pike are very abundant. Mean size was just 21.3 inches and 2.5 pounds, but pike exceeding 30.0 inches were caught. Walleye have been stocked to diversify fishing opportunities, but these maintenance stockings have not been very successful in increasing Walleye abundance. Only one Walleye was captured during the 2015 survey. This fish measured 16.1 inches.
Other species sampled in 2015 included Golden Shiner and Green Sunfish. The next lake survey is tentatively scheduled for 2021.
