History & Status of the Fishery
Webster Lake is located next to a U.S. Forest Service campground in the Chippewa National Forest. There is a boat launch on the east side and an area for fishing next to the campground. Webster was a popular destination fishery after the 2010 assessment recorded Bluegills over 10 inches as well as Largemouth Bass over 20 inches in length; however, a severe winterkill in the winter of 2011-12 greatly impacted the gamefish population. Since then, adult Bluegill, Black Crappie and Largemouth Bass have been re-introduced back into Webster Lake in 2013, 2014, 2019 and 2021. Unfortunately, these efforts were negated by additional winterkill events that have continued with several more occurring since 2012, most recently in 2023.
In 2023, multiple reports were received by the DNR Fisheries Office in Bemidji that Webster Lake may have winterkilled due to the absence of panfish and bass which are normally very abundant. Electrofishing was conducted late that summer to assess the remaining fish community and found very low abundance of Bluegill, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch. No Black Crappie or Largemouth Bass were captured. Supplemental stocking of Black Crappie, Bluegill, and Largemouth Bass is planned for the spring of 2024. It will likely be some time before Webster Lake returns to the quality fishery that it once was.
