History & Status of the Fishery
Quamba (Mud) Lake is a shallow and fertile 226 acre lake which is subject to sporadic winterkills. Winterkills of some severity have been recorded ten times since 1959. Most recently dissolved oxygen levels dropped to a concerning level in February of 2008, but no evidence of winterkill was found in the spring. The current management plan lists Northern Pike and Walleye as primary species. The lake is stocked annually with 500,000 Walleye fry. There is one public boat launch with a concrete ramp. A survey consisting of 4 gill net and 9 trap net sets was conducted in July 2018 to assess fish populations. The previous survey was conducted in 2010.
The Walleye gill net catch rate was 0.75 fish per net. This is well below similar lakes and is low compared to historical catch rates for the lake. Sizes were decent with the average length being 18 inches. Stocking efforts attempt to provide a low level bonus' Walleye fishery on Quamba.
Northern Pike were sampled at a rate of 4.5 fish per net. This is low compared to similar lakes but it is in line with the management goal. Size was large averaging 2.8 lbs. which is much larger than similar lakes. Fish averaged 23.5 inches in length with the largest fish measuring 29.5 inches. Ages were well distributed from the 2010 year class to the 2015 year class.
Black Crappie were sampled at a rate of 2.3 fish per trap net and averaged 8.9 inches. This is similar to historic catches in this lake. Several large fish were sampled in excess of 11 inches, the largest being 12.2.
The Bluegill catch rate increased dramatically from the previous survey from 4.5 to 17.9 fish per net making it similar to previous surveys. Fish size was typical with an average length of 6.6 inches and the largest measuring 9.5 inches. Individuals were fairly evenly distributed throughout the range of lengths with 30 percent of sampled fish exceeding 8 inches.
Yellow Perch were sampled in gill nets at a rate of 15.7 fish per net. Size was small with an average length of 6.5 inches and the largest being only 8.2 inches.
Only 13 Largemouth Bass were sampled for a catch rate of 17.7 fish per hour. This is similar to the previous survey but still relatively low. Average length was 13 inches with the largest being only 16.7 inches.
