The fish population in Lincoln Trail Lake is surveyed intensively every two years. Fish are collected by electrofishing, then measured and weighed before releasing the fish alive back in the lake. Aquatic vegetation is monitored annually. Desirable species of aquatic plants are being introduced to help compete for limited nutrients against undesirable plants, prevent shoreline erosion, and provide valuable fish habitat. Eurasian milfoil has infested the lake and plans have been made to treat this in 2016. A few anglers have suggested stocking shad to improve bass growth rates. Repeated studies in small lakes, like Lincoln Trail Lake, have proven conclusively that introducing shad quickly results in poor quality fishing for all species, including bass! Bass recruitment is reduced significantly with shad present. Green sunfish, yellow bullheads, and white suckers are present in low to moderate numbers and few are caught.
