History & Status of the Fishery
Upper Cullen Lake is a 435 acre lake, with a maximum depth of 40', located 6 miles northeast of the town of Nisswa in Crow Wing County. Upper Cullen is located in the Crow Wing River watershed. 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 September 2nd, 2021, with all 10 stations sampled by backpack electrofishing. The 50' 1/8th inch seine was used at 4 stations and the 15' 1/8th inch seine was used at 3 stations. Fifteen species were sampled, including six species that are intolerant of habitat disturbance: Banded Killifish, Blackchin Shiner, Blacknose Shiner, Iowa Darter, Least Darter, and Pugnose Shiner. This nearshore survey will be used along with the gill net and trap net survey conducted July 6-9, 2021, to calculate a Fish-Based Index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI) score. The FIBI uses fish community data to measure a lake's health by the types of fish species present and comparing it to what is expected for this type of lake.
