History & Status of the Fishery
Como Lake is a shallow, 70 acre lake located in a highly developed urban watershed in the City of Saint Paul. Como Lake receives direct runoff from 22 storm sewers and water quality is generally very poor. The entire lake is encompassed by Como Park, a regional park managed by Saint Paul Parks and Recreation. A fishing pier is located on the south shore of the lake along with a small parking lot. During summer this area of the lake can experience heavy submersed aquatic vegetation growth that may impede fishing from the pier with all but topwater baits. Chemical control of nuisance algae blooms and mechanical control of nuisance rooted aquatic plants have been conducted periodically. Several areas around the lake are conducive to shore fishing and much of the shoreline has been restored in recent years with native plantings. There is no official boat ramp on the lake but carry on watercraft and electric motors are allowed to be used; paddleboats are available to rent as well.
Walleye are the primary management species on Como Lake and regular stocking occur in the spring and fall. Bluegill and Black Crappie were the most abundant species observed during this survey; average sizes for each species were, 4.4 inches and 6.1 inches respectively. Twelve Walleye were sampled in trapnets during this survey, with lengths ranging from 8.0 to 23 inches long. Black Bullhead were sampled in below average abundance for lakes like Como during this survey. Black Bullhead size and quality in Como Lake is above average when compared to most metro area lakes. The majority of the Black Bullheads ranged in size from 8.0 to 11.5 inches. Other species sampled in low abundance during this survey included Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed, Hybrid and Green sunfish.
