History & Status of the Fishery
North Lindstrom Lake is a fertile 137 acre basin located in southern Chisago County within the city of Lindstrom. The lake's south shore is connected to South Lindstrom Lake by a narrow channel, navigable at normal water levels. North Center Lake connects to the north east end of the lake by a 3/4 mile stream. The shore is predominately sand and the water clarity is relatively good compared to other area lakes. Development is lighter than nearby lakes. Fishing pressure has likely increased in recent years due to the higher water levels increasing the ease of navigation from South Lindstrom Lake. The current lake management plan lists Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Black Crappie as the primary management species.
During July of 2019, a lake survey was conducted to evaluate the current status of the fishery in North Lindstrom Lake. Sampling gear types consisted of spring night electrofishing to sample Largemouth Bass and standard gill and trap nets to sample the remaining fish species. Northern Pike numbers reached another historic high, eclipsing the management goal and the norm for the lake type while maintaining an average size above both as well. Northerns averaged 25 inches and 3.5 pounds. Nearly two thirds of the Pike surpassed 26 inches in length. Spring night electrofishing found a high abundance of Largemouth Bass with an average size of 1.3 pounds and 12.8 inches. Lengths extended from 5.8 to 19.9 inches. The number of Bluegill Sunfish and Black Crappie sampled were within the normal range. Both species decreased moderately in size since the last evaluation. Seventeen percent of the Bluegill exceeded 7 inches while only 13% of the Crappie catch topped the 8 inch mark. Walleye have not been stocked in North Lindstrom Lake since 1978. The 2019 gill net catch rate for Walleye was below the lake type norm and likely the result of migration from neighboring lakes. Walleye averaged 21.1 inches and 3.4 pounds. Yellow Perch, an important forage species for Northern Pike and Walleye, were again sampled at a very low level.
An angler fishing North Lindstrom Lake is likely to encounter a good number of nice sized Northern Pike or an occasional larger Walleye. Good numbers of good sized Largemouth Bass are also available while pan fish anglers will be busy but may have to sort through smaller fish to get a meal.
