A targeted survey of the nearshore and littoral fish community in Webb Lake was conducted by Fisheries Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) Program Staff from 21-23 June 2022. Fourteen sampling sites were evenly spaced around the lake and each was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 15-foot or 50-foot seine, where possible. Backpack electrofishing was completed at all 14 sites with two sites sampled from the boat. A 50-foot seine was used to sample eight sites, a 15-foot seine was used at three sites, and soft sediments with abundant vegetation and deep water prevented the use of seines at three sampling sites. Nearshore sampling captured 18 native species of fish including seven species that are intolerant of disturbance (Banded Killifish, Blackchin Shiner, Iowa Darter, Logperch, Mimic Shiner, Rock Bass, and Smallmouth Bass) and no species that are tolerant of disturbance.

A concurrent summer trap net survey was conducted on 21-23 June 2022 by IBI Program Staff. Twelve trap nets were set along the shoreline that encompassed multiple habitat types. Bluegill comprised a majority of the trap net catch by number and Bluegill and Yellow Bullhead comprised a majority of the catch by biomass. The number of Bluegill sampled per net was greater than the 75% quartile for similar Lake Class 27 lakes and the average length was 6.0 inches, with 21% over 7 inches.

The nearshore and trap net data were combined with gill net data from a June 2021 survey to describe the fish community and provide a Fish-based IBI (FIBI) score. The FIBI uses fish community data to measure a lake's health, and the types of fish species present can help identify any stressors that may be negatively affecting the lake environment. In Minnesota lakes, certain fish species cannot survive without clean water and a healthy habitat (e.g., Blackchin Shiner, Iowa Darter, and Rock Bass), while other species are tolerant of degraded conditions (e.g., Black Bullhead, Fathead Minnow, and Green Sunfish). The FIBI score, composed of several fish community diversity and composition metrics, indicates the overall health of a lake by comparing it to what is expected for a healthy lake. For additional information on the FIBI, search for "lake index of biological integrity" on the mndnr.gov website.

Minnesota DNR Fisheries IBI program staff assessed lakeshore habitat on Webb Lake on Sep 12th, 2022, following the Score the Shore survey protocols. The assessment consisted of 57 survey sites evenly spaced 200 meters around the lake. Assessments were made in three habitat zones: Shoreline Zone (the shore-water interface to the top of the natural bank), Shoreland Zone (land-ward from shoreline to development structure or 100 feet), and Aquatic Zone (lake-ward 50 feet of shoreline). The average lakewide habitat score was 72.0 (±2.6) out of 100 possible and indicates there is moderate quality lakeshore habitat. Approximately 64% of the sites were developed with a mean score of 65.1 (±3.3), while undeveloped sites had a mean score of 84.7 (±2.4).

Results from this survey indicate Webb Lake is in good health as indicated by an FIBI score above the impairment threshold for aquatic life use determined for similar lakes. Data from this survey will contribute biological information about the health of the fish community to the Leech Lake River Watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency.
