History & Status of the Fishery
A standard survey was conducted on Strand Lake during the summer of 2015 to update information about fish populations and to evaluate the effectiveness of the walleye stocking program. Walleye is the primary management species for Strand Lake.
Walleye fry are stocked every other year into Strand Lake. Walleye abundance of 8.5 per gillnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota Lakes. Walleye average length was small at 12.1 inches and average weight was 0.7 pounds. Seventy-three percent of Walleye aged corresponded to stocked year-classes. Anglers can expect good fishing for Walleye for the next several years as both the 2012 and 2014 year-classes were well represented.
Although not abundant, all panfish populations have very good size structure in Strand Lake. Black Crappie abundance of 3.3 per trapnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota lakes. Average length was 9.7 inches with fish up to 11.8 inches sampled. Bluegill abundance was average at 2.9 per trapnet lift. Average length was large at 7.7 inches with 65% exceeding 8 inches and Bluegill up to 10.0 inches sampled. Yellow Perch abundance of 13.0 per gillnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota Lakes. Average size was large at 8.3 inches and 18% exceeded 10 inches. Anglers are encouraged to release exceptionally large panfish to preserve this unique opportunity.
Electrofishing was used to determine if an emerging Largemouth Bass population was evident. No prior electrofishing surveys have been conducted on Strand Lake. One Largemouth Bass measuring 14.3 inches was captured for a catch rate of 0.8 per hour of electrofishing, which was below average compared to other Duluth Area Largemouth Bass populations.
