History & Status of the Fishery
Moose is a 62 acre lake with 54 (87%) acres of littoral area and maximum depth of 17 feet. Moose is located four miles southwest of Rollins, MN off St. Louis County Highway #44. Although Moose Lake has no designated public access, there is county tax forfeit land on the southeast corner of the lake. A total of two walleye were sampled during the 2001 survey. Similarly, only four walleye were sampled during an assessment conducted in 1996. Walleye fry have been stocked in Moose Lake in odd years beginning in 1991. Of the six walleye sampled in 1996 and 2001, only one was aged to a year that walleye fry were stocked. Northern pike abundance of 7.3 per gillnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota lakes of similar type. Mean length for northerns of 22.1 inches was large. Growth was average with length at age four of 23.4 inches. Analysis of age distribution revealed a strong 1998 year class and all year classes from 1996 through 1999 represented. Yellow perch abundance of 2.3 per gillnet lift was below average compared to other Minnesota lakes of similar type. Mean length for yellow perch of 7.1 inches was small. Growth was slow with length at age four of 5.0 inches. Analysis of age distribution revealed no strong year classes and all but one year class represented from 1994 through 1999.

Fisheries management on Moose Lake currently consists of bi-annual stocking of walleye fry. However, very few walleye have been sampled during the last two investigations. Future fisheries management for Moose Lake will be determined in the lake management plan developed in 2002.
