History & Status of the Fishery

Walleye fry were stocked into Pine Lake on May 18, 2023. The stocking rate was 250 fry per acre which equals 24,00 fry. The fry were a local genetic strain sourced from the Knife River in April. Pine Lake was electrofished the night of October 11, 2023, to evaluate the relative abundance of young of the year Walleye. Similar to past fall assessments, the catch rate (12 age-0 Walleye per hour) was low. Age-0 Walleye ranged from 5.7 to 7.9 inches in length with a 7-inch average. Age-1 Walleye were sampled at a rate of 6 per hour. Age-1 Walleye ranged in length from 8.7 to 12.1 inches and had a 10.6-inch average. The possibility of natural Walleye reproduction and the low stocking rate makes the fry stocking's contribution to the 2023 Walleye year class unknown.
