History & Status of the Fishery
Ham Lake is located five miles southeast of Nevis in southeastern Hubbard County. Ham has a surface area of 194 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet. There is no public access on Ham. Ham provides fishing opportunities for Largemouth Bass, Panfish, and Northern Pike.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Class 39 lakes have the characteristics of being shallow lakes, with a very high littoral area (water depth less than 15 feet deep), and a regular shaped shoreline. Other class 39 lakes in the Park Rapids area include Minnie, Paine, Peysenske, Hennepin, and Wolf.
Ham supports abundant Largemouth Bass and Bluegill populations. Anglers will find good numbers of Largemouth Bass in the 12-14 inch size range and Bluegill and Pumpkinseed in the 6-7 inch size range. Black Crappie were sampled in low numbers, down from past surveys. Previous surveys have shown the Black Crappie population to fluctuate at moderate numbers for this lake class. Anglers will find that Ham has a low Northern Pike population composed of larger-sized fish. Sampled Northern Pike ranged in length from 26.5 to 32.3 inches. Yellow Perch were sampled in low numbers with fish measured up to 11.9 inches.
Other species sampled included moderate numbers of White Sucker and Rock Bass, and low numbers of Brown Bullhead, Hybrid Sunfish, and Walleye.
