History & Status of the Fishery
Trout Lake is a large, fertile lake located immediately south of Coleraine, Minnesota. As a result of industrial and municipal practices within the watershed, the lake has experienced substantial changes in water quality and the fish community. The 2019 lake management plan lists Walleye and Northern Pike as the primary species of management with Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass as secondary species. Bluegill have typically been sampled in low numbers in summer assessments, but recent surveys indicated the population may be expanding. A targeted survey using electrofishing was conducted in June 2020 to collect more information on the Bluegill population.
A total of 108 Bluegill were sampled. Fish ranged from 2.7 to 9.2 inches with an average length of 6.5 inches. Size structure was favorable as 62% of Bluegill exceeded 6 inches and 26% exceeded 8 inches. Ages 2 through 10 were represented and growth was faster than average compared to lakes with similar habitat. Bluegill averaged 7.3 inches after 6 years of growth. Trout Lake appears to offer good angling opportunities for Bluegill and may be considered a candidate for a reduced bag limit regulation in the future. Bluegill exceeding 9 inches have been sampled in all recent surveys. Anglers are encouraged to limit harvest to 5 or fewer Bluegill and release fish exceeding 8 inches.
