History & Status of the Fishery
Lower Comstock is a 160 acre lake located about 6 miles south of Markham, MN. The lake is accessed through a DNR administered public access on Upper Comstock Lake, then navigating up the channel to Lower Comstock Lake. Maximum depth is 30 feet, with about 76% of the lake less than 15 feet deep. Lower Comstock was last assessed in 2000. Lower Comstock was surveyed during the summer of 2018 to update information about fish populations.
Lower Comstock is stocked with 121,000 Walleye fry every even year. Walleye abundance of 2.5 per gillnet lift is average compared to other similar Minnesota lakes. Average length was large at 18.0 inches. Ninety percent of the Walleye aged corresponded to stocked year-classes suggesting limited natural reproduction.
Black Crappie and Bluegill population densities were average compared to other similar Minnesota lakes. Black Crappie average length was 7.0 inches, but angling success and size should improve in 2019 and beyond with strong 2015 and 2016 year-classes maturing. Quality Bluegill angling opportunities exist with nearly 25% of the trapnet sample exceeding 8 inches in length. Bluegill average length was 6.6 inches.
Northern Pike abundance of 4.0 per gillnet lift was average compared to other Minnesota lakes of similar type. Average length from the gillnets was only 19.7 inches, but some large Northern Pike are present in Lower Comstock. The trapnets captured two large specimens that approached 40 inches in length.
