History & Status of the Fishery
Kabekona Lake (29-0075-00) is a 2,433.40-acre lake with a maximum depth of 133 feet located near Laporte, MN. Park Rapids Fisheries staff conducted a survey targeting near shore fish species on July 11 and 12, 2023, to assess populations of non-game and small sport fish. Twenty-four 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, ten sites were sampled with a 15-foot seine and fourteen sites were sampled with a 50-foot seine. Backpack electrofishing was done at all 24 sites. Nearshore sampling captured twenty-three species of fish including five species intolerant of disturbance; Banded Killifish, Burbot, Log Perch, Mimic Shiner, and Molted Sculpin. Other species sampled during the nearshore effort included Black Bullhead, Bluntnose Minnow, Bowfin, Brook Stickleback, Common Shiner, Fathead Minnow, Johnny Darter, Iowa Darter, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Northern Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spottail Shiner, Tadpole Madtom, White Sucker, and Yellow Perch. Nearshore catches will be used along with gill net and trap net catch data from a standard fisheries survey conducted on June 20, 2023 to calculate a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score, which is indicative of the health of Kabekona Lake.
This survey is contributing to a watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency. Kabekona Lake is located in the Leech Lake River Watershed.
