History & Status of the Fishery
First Crow Wing Lake (29-0086-00) is a 522.02-acre lake with a maximum depth of 15 feet located 6 miles south of Nevis, MN. Park Rapids Fisheries staff conducted a survey targeting near shore fish species on July 11, 2019 to assess populations of non-game and small sport fish. Fourteen 100-foot sampling sites were evenly spaced around the lake shore, sampling a variety of habitat types. Each site was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 50-foot or 15-foot 1/8th-inch mesh seine, depending on habitat conditions.
During this assessment, two sites were sampled with a 50-foot seine and six sites were sampled with a 15-foot seine. Site conditions prevented the use of seines at six sites. Backpack electrofishing was done at all 14 sites, several of which were conducted from the side of the boat. Nearshore sampling captured eight species of fish including one species intolerant of disturbance; Banded Killifish. Other species sampled during the nearshore effort included Black Crappie, Brown Bullhead, Central Mudminnow, Iowa Darter, Largemouth Bass, Least Darter, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch. Nearshore catches will be used along with gill net and trap net catch data from a standard fisheries survey conducted on August 5, 2019, to calculate a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score, which is indicative of the health of First Crow Wing Lake.
This survey is contributing to a watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency. First Crow Wing Lake is located in the Crow Wing River Watershed.
