History & Status of the Fishery
Goose Lake is comprised of two distinct basins totaling 754 acres and is assigned to lake class 24. The north basin, which is shallow and subject to low winter oxygen levels, received little sampling effort prior to the 2002 survey. The public access is located on the north basin which connects to the south basin by a narrow, bridged channel. This limits public access during the winter due to unsafe ice conditions under the bridge. Passage of medium sized boats is possible except during low water periods. The south basin is larger and deeper with adequate winter oxygen. The lake is primarily managed for Walleye and Black Crappie. Special regulations on Goose Lake include a crappie bag limit of 5 and a 17-inch minimum length limit for Walleye.
The 2021 catch was on the high end for Northern Pike and the low end for Walleye when compared to the past assessments. Sixty percent of the Walleye caught exceeded the lakes 17- inch minimum harvest regulation while Northerns averaged 25 inches. Bluegill posted another historic high catch for the lake while Black Crappie were down somewhat compared to the 2016 assessment. More than half the crappie exceeded 9 inches and three fourths of the Bluegill caught were over 7 inches. Largemouth Bass numbers rebounded since the 2016 assessment, largely due the abundance of sub-adults in the sample. Most of the adult bass were over 12 inches in length.
