What aquatic invasive species are found in Lake Reno?

History & Status of the Fishery
A targeted survey was conducted September 25-28 on Lake Reno, to assess the Bluegill and Black Crappie populations. A special regulation that reduced the daily sunfish limit from 20 to 10 was implemented in 2022. The goal of this new regulation is to maintain or increase the average size of Bluegill. This survey will be used to help evaluate effects of the regulation on the Bluegill population.
Bluegill catch rates (25.4/trap net) were moderately high. Growth is fast, but mean length was only 6.4 inches because of predominately young fish. Eight percent of Bluegill sampled were over 8 inches; the largest sampled was 8.9 inches. Black Crappie catch rates (2.3/trap net) were low, but crappie also grow fast. Crappie ranged in length from 10.7 to 13.5 inches; mean length was 12.1 inches.
Anglers are encouraged to practice selective harvest to help sustain the quality of the fishery. Selective harvest encourages the release of larger fish while promoting harvest of more abundant smaller fish. Releasing medium to large fish can help restore and maintain fish community balance, as well as increase opportunities to catch large fish in the future.
