History & Status of the Fishery
Little Sand Lake is a 409-acre lake with 4 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 12 feet located north of Remer, MN. A DNR owned public access is located on the west shore. The DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Little Sand is in Lake Class 39; lakes in this class are generally shallow regularly shaped lakes. Other area lakes in this class include Big Portage, Mabel, Island and Townline.
The entire east shore is publicly owned and undeveloped. The lake is primarily managed for Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike and secondarily for Yellow Perch. Past winterkills have been confirmed in Little Sand Lake but surviving fish have responded with strong reproduction, suggesting any winterkill to date has been partial.
Black Crappie abundance was below the management goal and lengths ranged from 5 to 8 inches. Bluegill were very abundant with catches above the management goal, with most fish ranging from 3 to 7 inches long. Largemouth Bass up to 20 inches were sampled. Additional sampling is required to develop management goals for Largemouth Bass. Northern Pike abundance was above the management goal and ranged in length from 17 to 30 inches. Northern Pike size goals were met in 2022. Yellow Perch abundance was below the management goal and were 5 to 6 inches long.
Other fish species that anglers can expect to encounter include, Bowfin (Dogfish), Brown Bullhead, Golden Shiner, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Bullhead.
People can have significant impacts on lakes and the fish populations they support. Harvest, lakeshore development, removal of shoreline vegetation, and introductions of invasive species can all adversely affect fish populations. Currently, no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Little Sand Lake. AIS are moved from infested to non-infested waters by anglers, boaters, and lake shore owners and can adversely impact lakes and fish populations. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access. If you suspect an infestation of an invasive species in this lake, save a specimen and report it to a local natural resource office. Additional information on all of these topics can be found on the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us) or by contacting the Walker Area Fisheries office.
