History & Status of the Fishery
Organ Lake is an approximately 40 acre lake with a maximum depth of seven feet located 15 miles northwest of Schroeder. The lake can be accessed by a mostly grown over 100 foot trail from US Forest Service Road 348 (Whitefish Lake Road) to the northeastern corner of the lake; parking is limited to wide areas of the road. The road is very rough beyond the Whitefish Lake rustic campground and a four wheel drive vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended.
A survey was completed on Organ Lake during late June of 2022 to monitor the fish community and assess the current Northern Pike angling opportunities. The Northern Pike catch rate was the highest on record for Organ Lake, but was within the normal range relative to other similar lakes. The average length of Northern Pike was poor at just 18 inches and the largest pike sampled was only 22 inches long. Overall growth of pike was slow relative to other lakes in the area. Although the lake may not produce trophy pike, anglers that visit the lake should have good chances to catch smaller pike. Historically Yellow Perch were present in the lake, but none were sampled in the 2022 survey.
