History & Status of the Fishery
Black Crappie is the species most often pursued on Moose Lake. Abundance in 2021 was well above the expected range for this lake type. Three strong year-classes were present in the catch, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Length in trap nets ranged from 3.3-10 inches and the mean was 7.2.
Largemouth bass is another popular choice on Moose Lake. Due to the pandemic and staff storages, only angling was used to target Largemouth Bass. Three Largemouth Bass were captured, ranging in length from 10.04 to 16.73 inches.
Northern Pike abundance has varied over time and stocking seemed to increase numbers temporarily. The highest abundance was observed in 1988 (8.00 fish/set), which occurred after stocking events in 1984 and 1985. However, by 2009, Northern Pike abundance was down to 0.50 fish/set. Stocking occurred again in 2013 and 2015. In 2021, the gill-net catch rate was 2.33 Northern Pike per net, below the expected number for this type of lake. However, Northern Pike in gill nets ranged from 20.87 to 31.30, with a mean of 25.10 inches. The mean weight was 3.65 pounds. So, while pike abundance is not high, the size of the fish is well above average.
Historically, Yellow Perch abundance has been variable in Moose Lake with a high of 33.00 fish/set and a low of 1.50 fish/set. In 2021, Yellow Perch abundance was within the expected range for this lake type. However, sizes were small. Yellow Perch in Moose Lake are more important as forage for predators rather than recreational fish for anglers.
