Pine Lake is a 260-acre lake with 3.8 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 25 feet located south of Whipholt, MN. A US Forest Service owned public access is located on the southeast shore. The DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Pine Lake is in Lake Class 29; other area lakes in this class include Beuber, Diamond, Little Vermillion, Rainey and Sylvan. Approximately 75% of the shoreline is publicly owned and undeveloped. The lake is primarily managed for Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike and secondarily for Yellow Perch.
Pine Lake is a great multi-species lake with the potential to produce large fish. Black Crappie met the management goal and lengths ranged from 6 to 11 inches long. Bluegill were abundant meeting the management goal and lengths ranged from 3 to 8 inches long. Northern Pike abundance was above the maximum management goal and fish ranged in length from 10 to 38 inches. Largemouth Bass up to 15 inches were sampled. Management goals are based on spring electrofishing which was not conducted in 2022.
Other fish species that anglers can expect to encounter include: Brown Bullhead, Hybrid Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass 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 Pine 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.
