History & Status of the Fishery
Little Star Lake is a 50 acre lake located 5 miles southwest of Crosslake. The lake is part of a chain of lakes characterized as having hard water, low fertility, and very good water clarity. The maximum depth is approximately 30 feet and about 26% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep.
Northern pike are the lakes primary game fish species and were sampled at a rate of 5.5 per gill net. This was similar to the three previous fish surveys. Pike ranged from 12.2 to 33.4 inches with an average size of 20.9" and 2.4 pounds.
Popular panfish species in the lake include black crappie and bluegill. Crappie were captured at a rate of 5.7 per trap net. Age determination using crappie scales found growth was average and 67% of all crappies sampled were from the 2005 year class. This suggests highly variable spawning success for crappie, which is typical for this chain of lakes. Bluegills were captured in average numbers compared to similar lakes and previous surveys on this lake. Several year classes of bluegill were captured, but growth was slow with few individuals reaching over 7".
Additional sampling for nearshore fish was also conducted using shoreline seining and backpack electrofishing. A variety of minnow species were collected including brook silversides, mottled sculpin, and banded killifish, as well as least darters, a species of special concern in Minnesota. Combining all methods, the 2010 survey identified 22 fish species in the lake.
