History & Status of the Fishery
Walleye fry were stocked into Fish Lake on May 17. At total of 317,000 fry or 630 per littoral acre were stocked. The fry were a local genetic strain sourced from the Knife River in April. Fish Lake was electrofished on the night of October 18, 2023, to evaluate the relative abundance of young of the year Walleye. The catch rate of 51 age-0 Walleye per hour was below average (78/hr) and was less than the 2020 rate of 294 per hour, a non-stocked year. The age-0 Walleye ranged from 4.7 to 6.7 inches in length with a 5.3-inch average. The possibility of natural Walleye reproduction makes the fry stocking's contribution to the 2023 Walleye year class unknown.

I have fished on Fish Lake quite a bit. I had better luck in the summer months than the winter. Real good crappie fishing in the spring. Had a lot of luck with bass also. Limited luck with walleyes but most of the ones caught were decent. Not the most consistant lake around but produces some good fish.
