What aquatic invasive species are found in Centerville Lake?
There are some aquatic invasive species found in Centerville Lake including Eurasian watermilfoil.

Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.



History & Status of the Fishery

Centerville Lake is a 455-acre lake with a maximum depth is 19 feet. A winter aeration system is in place to prevent major winterkills. Walleye and Bluegill are the primary management species in the lake. The 2021 spring trap netting survey was conducted to provide baseline information on Bluegill for the new 5-fish bag limit experimental fishing regulation that went into effect in 2021. The goal of this regulation on Centerville Lake is to increase the size structure of Bluegill.
Nine trap nets were set on April 27, 2021 and lifted on April 28, 2021 catching a total of 230 Bluegill. Bluegill ranged in size from 3.4 inches up to 8.5 inches in length, with an average size of 6.6 inches. Aging structures (otoliths) were collected from 89 Bluegill. Most of the fish were from three different years, 2018 (3 years old), 2016 (5 years old) and 2015 (6 years old). The oldest Bluegill sampled in 2021 was determined to be from the 2013 year-class (8 years old). The size structure of Bluegill found in Centerville Lake is below average for East Metro-area lakes, with 8% of fish 7 inches or larger.

Always be a close lake for me to get a couple hours in. Ice was 12in, panfish, and pikes are still producing. Within, 4 hours, we had about 7-9 flags on tip ups. Panfish, you'll have to sort through a ton of small ones to get a couple keepers. Good action, and sonars are lit up. Good place to take kids.

Always producing like usual. I'd never seen so many flags go up on tip up. My family and I had an awesome time chasing flags. We were also catching nice size panfish. Overall, always a good time.

We went out on Saturday, January 2nd, 2016. 4 guys total, three brothers and my son. Ice depth varies between 3-7 inches. Many groups walked out without checking ice depth, my group checked every where we went. The ice have cracks under the snow that did not refreeze yet, so be cautious and check ice. As for fishing, we did okay. First couple hole; we marked fish on the sonars right away @ 12FOW. We continued drilling 20-30 holes from 6ft to 15ft. Beyond 15ft was where I found 3in of ice, so i backed off. We caught small perch throughout the afternoon, but once the evening came around we caught a couple fat perch 9-10 inches big. We had 2 fish on tip ups, and my older brother caught a pike jigging. Overall my son had a blast, and we had a good time chasing flags.
