History & Status of the Fishery
Whitewater Lake is located 1 mile W of Hoyt Lakes. Formerly known as Partridge Lake, it was impounded in 1955 for use as a water storage reservoir for a nearby mining company. There are three boat ramps located at Fisherman's Point Campground for public access. Most of the shoreline is undeveloped and cattail beds are common, particularly on the E and SE shores. Thirteen species of fish were sampled during the 2016 survey. Walleye, northern pike and largemouth bass were common. The panfish community is dominated by abundant bluegill and rock bass are common. Two large channel catfish were sampled representing the third occurrence of this species in the sampling gear. Walleye numbers in 2016 (5.9/gill net) were below the long term average (8.3/gill net) for all assessments on this lake. The average walleye sampled was 16.1 inches long and about 5 to 6 years old. Wallleye were sampled from 14 different year classes including one that was 22 years old. The largest walleye sampled was 28.2 inches long. Northern pike abundance in 2016 (9.0/gill net) was above the long term average (3.9/gill net) for all surveys on this lake. The average pike sampled was 19.7 inches long which is larger than the historic average length (18.6 inches). The largest pike sampled was 28.2 inches long. Largemouth bass in 2016 appear to be increasing in abundance and were sampled with both gear types in above average numbers. The average largemouth sampled in the gill nets was 12.1 inches long and about 5 years old. The longest largemouth sampled was 16.6 inches. Bluegill numbers in 2016 (30.5/trap net) were much higher than the long term average (6.2/trap net) on this lake. The average bluegill was 5.4 inches long and about 6 years old. Only 4 percent of the bluegill sampled were 8 inches or larger and the largest bluegill was 9.2 inches long.
