History & Status of the Fishery

Pine Lake is a 183-acre lake located near Whipholt, Minnesota. The lake has 3.82 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 25 feet. There is a U.S. Forest Service owned public access on the southeast shore.

Northern pike are abundant in Pine Lake and the abundance has been consistent with previous surveys. The mean length of fish sampled was 21 inches, and fish up to 34 inches were captured. The size structure for northern pike has been consistent with previous surveys.

Bluegill are abundant with fish up to 8 inches. However, the size structure for bluegill consisted of more smaller fish (under 6 inches). The historical surveys had larger fish, but the abundance was consistent with this survey.

Largemouth bass up to 17 inches were found during the DNR survey.

Other fish species sampled include: black bullhead, black crappie, bowfin (dogfish), pumpkinseed sunfish, rock bass, walleye and yellow perch.

Anglers can help maintain or improve the quality of fishing by practicing selective harvest. Selective harvest allows for the harvest of smaller fish for table fare, but encourages release of medium- to large-sized fish. Releasing these fish can help maintain balance in the fish community in Pine Lake and provide anglers the opportunity to catch more and larger fish in the future.

Shoreline areas on the land and into the shallow water provide essential habitat for fish and wildlife that live in or near Minnesota s lakes. Overdeveloped shorelines can t support the fish, wildlife, and clean water that are associated with natural undeveloped lakes.

Shoreline habitat consists of aquatic plants, woody plants and natural lake bottom soils. Plants in the water and at the water s edge provide habitat, prevent erosion and absorb excess nutrients. Shrubs, trees, and woody debris such as fallen trees or limbs provide good habitat both above and below the water and should be left in place. By leaving a buffer strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline, property owners can reduce erosion, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat and travel corridors for wildlife.
