History & Status of the Fishery
Stark Lake is a 217 acre lake located nine miles southeast of Emily in Crow Wing County. Stark is located in the Mississippi River-Brainerd watershed. The lake has a maximum depth of 66'. A nearshore survey was conducted to assess the populations of both game and non-game fish species. Ten 100' long sampling stations were evenly spaced around the lakeshore. Each station was then sampled by backpack electrofishing, and if conditions allowed with a 15' or 50' 1/8th inch seine.
The survey took place on 02 August 2016, with all ten stations sampled by backpack electrofishing. The 50' 1/8th inch seine was used at one station, and the 15' 1/8th inch seine was used at an additional four stations. Five stations had heavy vegetation which would not allow for seining. Six species were sampled including blacknose shiner and blackchin shiner. This nearshore survey will be used along with the gillnet and trapnet survey conducted on 18-21 July 2016 to calculate an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score. This score will be an indicator of the health of Stark Lake.
