History & Status of the Fishery
Blue Lake is a 309 acre lake in southwest Isanti County. There are two public accesses located on the lake. Water clarity is moderate with algal blooms present as summer progresses. Blue Lake is managed primarily for Walleye and Largemouth Bass; the lake is stocked biennially with 134 pounds of Walleye fingerlings. In 2021 a fisheries survey was conducted which included trap netting and gillnetting from August 2-5. Six gill net sets and nine trap nets were used during the assessment. The previous assessment on Blue Lake was conducted in 2013.
Both numbers and sizes of Black Crappies and Bluegills have increased since the 2013 assessment. The abundance of Black Crappie was found to be above the normal range for this lake type, with lengths extending from 3.0 to 10.8 inches and an average of 7.8 inches. Just over 62% of the crappie sampled were greater than 8.0 inches in length. Bluegill numbers were within a normal range for this type of lake. Measured Bluegill ranged from 3.2 to 7.9 inches, with an average of 7.1 inches.
Spring night electrofishing found good numbers of Largemouth Bass that had an average size of 1.1 pounds. Lengths ranged from 6.4 to 19.2 inches with an average length of 11.7 inches. Anglers can expect to catch good numbers of moderate sized Largemouth Bass on Blue Lake. Walleye catch rates were 5.3 fish per net which is above average for this type of lake in Minnesota. Sampled Walleye ranged from 13.2 to 26.6 inches with a 19.2 inch average. Northern Pike catch rates were 1.7 fish per net which is below average for this type of lake in Minnesota. Pike ranged from 21.5 to 31.2 inches with a 26.6 inch average. Both Northern Pike and Walleye growth were normal.
