There are some aquatic invasive species found in Lake George 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

Lake George is a round and shallow basin (79% littoral) that lies in the Anoka sand plain. The lake is relatively clear and supports a diverse aquatic plant community which provides ample habitat for the resident fish population. Above average water quality makes this a popular recreation lake. Basin characteristics place Lake George in lake class 29. Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass are the primary management species in the lake. The DNR has attempted to establish a Walleye population in the past with no success and currently no stocking is conducted. The survey utilized gill net and traps nets deployed in June primarily to inform an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) survey done in conjunction with this effort.
Northern Pike were sampled by gill nets at a rate of 18.6 fish per net. While this rate greatly exceeds the 75th percentile for the lake class, it is typical relative to historical surveys. Fish size was smaller than average for the lake class but typical for the lake with a mean length of 19.5 inches and a range of 13.3 to 28.2 inches.
Black Crappie were sampled by trap nets at a rate of 0.8 fish per net. This is well below average for the lake class but typical relative to historical surveys. Fish size exceeded the 75th percentile for the lake class with a mean length of 9.7 inches and a range of 8 to 10.9 inches. Even larger fish were sampled by gill nets with the majority of fish over 10 inches long, the longest of which measured 14.6 inches.
Bluegill were sampled at a rate of 5.7 fish per trap net. This is quite low relative to both the lake and the lake class. Size was typical with fish ranging from 2.2 to 7.9 inches and averaging 5.7 inches in length.
Other species sample included: Black Bullhead, Green Sunfish, Hybrid Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Bullhead.
