History & Status of the Fishery
Camp Lake is a small 79-acre lake located two miles southeast of the city of Clear Lake in Sherburne County. The lake has a maximum depth of 34 feet with good water quality and an average summer water clarity of nine feet. The lake took a winterkill in 1978-79 and eliminated all fish but Black Bullhead and Fathead Minnows. Two standard surveys have been completed since then to update fisheries data in 2009 and 2022. A public access is located on the south side of the lake with five vehicle/trailer parking spaces. Observations by fisheries staff indicates that Camp Lake gets a fair amount of angling activity.
Anglers have the chance to catch quality-sized Largemouth Bass in Camp Lake. The average size of bass sampled was 15 inches in length. Numbers are limited, but anglers can encounter some larger fish up to 20 inches. Northern pike are plentiful and can provide a fun fishing experience while filling your limit of 10. Pike sampled ranged in length from 18 to 32 inches and averaged 24 inches and three pounds. Anglers are encouraged to harvest smaller pike (under 22 inches) and release the medium-sized pike (over 26 inches) to help shift the size structure to larger-sized fish over time. Bluegill are abundant and can provide some constant fishing action, but don't expect any trophies. The average size of Bluegill is only four inches and no Bluegill over seven inches were observed during this survey. Black Crappie are present in low numbers. Those observed ranged in length from four to 14 inches. Walleye have not been stocked in the lake since 2006 and are quite rare. An angler looking for Walleye would need to rely more on luck than skill to catch one. No Walleye were observed during this survey. Yellow Perch, a primary forage base for Walleye, have never been observed in Camp Lake and could attribute to the lack of success for Walleye. Other species sampled in low numbers were Hybrid Sunfish and Pumpkinseed.
