Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.



History & Status of the Fishery

Green Lake is an 802 acre basin managed for Walleye and Northern Pike. There is one public access located on the north side of the lake. Water clarity is moderate with algal blooms present as summer progresses. The Walleye population is currently maintained through biennial fingerling stocking (even numbered years). Green is in lake class 27.

In 2021 a fisheries survey was conducted which included trap netting and gill netting from August 20th through August 23rd. Nine gill net sets and nine trap nets were used during the assessment. The previous assessment on Green Lake was conducted in 2016. The Northern Pike catch rate was 4.9 fish per net which is within the interquartile range for the lake class and similar to the historic catch for the lake. Mean weight of pike sampled was 3.5 lbs. Gill net catches for Walleyes were 3.7 fish per net. This is lower than the 2016 survey of 4.1 fish per net but still within the range typical for the lake class. Mean weight was above the lake class median at 2.3 lbs. Black Crappie catch in gill nets was high with 6.8 per net, well above average for this lake class. Sixty-seven percent of the crappie catch exceeded 8 inches in length. Mean weight of crappies was 0.31 lbs. The Bluegill catch rate was 18.0 fish per net. This was similar to historical catches and average for the median catch for the lake class. Mean weight was also typical for the lake class and historical surveys. Bluegill sampled ranged from 1.0 to 9.1 inches and averaged 5.1 inches in length. Just 8 percent of the Bluegill sampled exceeded 7 inches in length. Spring electrofishing found a Largemouth Bass catch rate of 56 fish per hour, similar to 54 per hour caught in 2016. Bass averaged 12.1 inches and 1.2 lbs., ranging in length from 6.3 inches to 19.5 inches.
