History & Status of the Fishery
Crooked Lake is a 115 acre lake in Anoka County assigned to lake class 30. Primarily managed for Largemouth Bass, a special catch and release only regulation for Bass was implemented in 2002. Walleye and Channel Catfish have been stocked previously but these efforts were discontinued after 2015 since they failed to create a feasible fishery. A winter aeration system to reduce winterkill was installed in 1987. This survey was conducted in July 2021 with gill nets and trap nets. Electrofishing to target Largemouth Bass was conducted in May 2021. The previous Survey was conducted in 2015 with the previous electrofishing effort occurring in 2016.
Largemouth Bass were sampled by electrofishing at a rate of 81 fish per hour, the highest catch rate in the lake's history. It is nearly four times as high as the previous electrofishing effort but on par with the next most recent sampling in 1999 of 70.9 fish per hour. Average size was smaller than previous surveys with a mean length of 9.9 inches. This may be due to the large number of particularly small fish that were sampled rather than a lack of larger fish. The largest individual measured 19.5 inches.
Northern Pike were sampled at a rate of 11.5 fish per gill net. This higher than average for similar lakes but is typical relative to the previous survey. Fish size was slightly smaller than previous surveys with a mean length of 22.3 inches. Sizes were fairly well distributed between 15 and 30 inches.
Trap nets sampled Black Crappie at a rate of only 0.25 fish per net and gill nets at only 3 fish per net. This rate is low but rates have been relatively low in most previous surveys. The low number of fish sampled makes it impossible to extrapolate any size data to the entire population but the largest fish measured was 8.4 inches.
Bluegill were sampled by trap nets at a rate of 40.5 fish per net. This is higher than average for similar lakes but typical of previous surveys. Fish size was also typical relative to previous surveys with a mean length of 5.5 inches. The longest fish sampled was 7.5 inches.
Four Channel Catfish with a mean length of 22.4 inches were sampled in this survey. These fish have persisted since the cessation of stocking in 2015 and may still offer a limited angling opportunity. Other species sampled included: Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, White Sucker, Yellow Bullhead, and Yellow Perch.
