History & Status of the Fishery
Pancake Lake is in ecological lake class 31 and is located in near Goodland, MN, in the St Louis River Watershed. The lake is 122 acres and has a maximum depth of 33 feet. A survey targeting nearshore fish species was conducted by Area staff on 19 July, 2018. Ten sampling sites (100 feet long) were evenly spaced around the lake shore, sampling a variety of habitat types. Each site is sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining with a 50-ft or 15-ft 1/8th inch mesh seine, depending on habitat condition.
Shoreline seining was conducted at six sites; using only the 15-ft seine. Backpack electrofishing was completed at all 10 sites. Nearshore sampling captured a total of 12 different species; eight species by seining and 11 species by backpack electrofishing. The species can be found in the gear-specific catch tables in this report.
Nearshore catches will be used with the gill net and trap net data from the standard survey conducted on 18 June, 2018, to calculate a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score which is indicative of lake health. The surveys will assist the watershed assessment process in coordination with MN Pollution Control Agency.
