History & Status of the Fishery
Aerie Lake is a 139 acre lake located near Alborn, Minnesota with 69% (96.6 acres) littoral area and a maximum depth of 37 feet. The public access on Aerie Lake is undeveloped and does not allow easy access to the lake. Largemouth bass and bluegill are the primary fish species. The Aerie Lake Property Owners Association maintains a walleye population through private stocking. Largemouth bass electrofishing catch rates of 61.6 per hour in 1996 were well above the average (32.6 per hour) for Duluth Area bass populations. Mean length was 8.6 inches and the largest fish captured was 17.6 inches. Largemouth bass growth was fast compared to other Duluth Area populations. Bluegill abundance was average for Minnesota lakes with an average of 25.3 fish/trapnet. Mean length was 6.4 inches with 74% of bluegills 6 inches or greater and a maximum size of 8.4 inches. Bluegill reproduction was consistent and growth was average for Duluth Area lakes. Black crappie abundance was 0.8 fish/trapnet and was below average for Minnesota lakes of this type. The mean length of black crappie was 8.7 inches. Only two year classes were represented in 2005. Northern pike abundance was above average for Minnesota lakes with a value of 5.7 fish/gillnet. Mean length was 20.7 inches; thirty-five percent were over 21 inches and one fish measured 38.4 inches. Growth was average for Duluth Area populations. Based on age distribution, northern pike successfully reproduced from 1999 to 2003. Walleye abundance of 1.0 fish/gillnet was average for Minnesota lakes of this type. Mean length was 18.8 inches and growth was fast compared to other Duluth Area populations. Almost all aged fish correlated to stocked years. Anglers have reported good largemouth bass and bluegill fishing in Aerie Lake. Walleye abundance has shown some increase since the Aerie Lake Association began stocking in 1998.
