History & Status of the Fishery
Pauline Lake is a 60-acre lake with a maximum depth of 25 feet located off the Echo Trail in Superior National Forest in northern St. Louis County. Access is by a steep 175-yard canoe portage from the Echo Trail. Pauline Lake, along with 45 other lakes in northeastern Minnesota, is in lake class 10. These lakes are typically small in size (average = 100 acres), moderately deep (maximum depth = 38 feet), and have soft water. The MDNR manages the lake primarily for walleye with biannual stocking.
Pauline Lake has a simple fish community with only four species sampled. In 2010, walleye abundance was down from 2000 but comparable to other assessments on this lake. Only five walleye were sampled in 2010. These walleye ranged in length from 14.7 inches to 19.6 inches and were composed of four different year classes of which three were from stocked years.
In 2010, northern pike abundance was typical for class 10 lakes and for past assessments on Pauline Lake. In 2010, the seven pike sampled ranged in length from 14.7 inches to 31.6 inches with an average length of 19.0 inches. Five different year classes were identified. Pike growth was below normal. At the end of three years of growth, Pauline pike were 15.4 inches long compared to the Tower area lake class 10 average of 17.2 inches.
Both by numbers and pounds, white sucker was the most abundant species sampled in 2010. The only other species sampled was yellow perch.
