Jeanette Lake is a 612 acre lake located eleven miles east of Buyck. There are two public landings on the south side of the lake off the Echo Trail. The main public landing has a concrete ramp with parking for approximately ten vehicles and trailers. The other is located in the US Forest Service managed Jeanette Lake Campground. This gravel ramp has a much smaller parking area, although many users are campground guests and keep their trailers at their camp sites. Jeanette has a maximum depth of 15 feet and dark brown water. Jeanette Lake was weakly thermally stratified on July 9, 2019 with a surface temperature of 76 F and a bottom temp of 67 F. Oxygen levels were adequate for gamefish throughout the water column. The lake's five inlets include Jeanette Creek and four unnamed tributaries that drain nearby bogs. The lone outlet is also considered Jeanette Creek which flows into the Little Indian Sioux River. Lake bottom substrates along the shoreline are mostly boulder, gravel, and ledgerock with muck in some of the bays. Sporadic shallow boulders also exist within the lake basin. Caution should be used while boating. Aquatic plants are sparse and grow to a depth of 6 feet. The overall gillnet catch rate for all fish combined was 33.0 fish/net which was a little below average compared to past surveys. Total yield was 28.1 lbs/net which was also a little below average. Fish species sampled were walleye, yellow perch, white sucker, and northern pike. No trap nets were set as this survey was targeted to assess walleye stocking. Jeanette Lake is stocked every third year with walleye fry. The 2019 walleye gillnet catch rate was 12.8 fish/net which was above average compared to other similar lakes and very good compared to past surveys on the lake. Walleye lengths ranged from 7 to 26 inches with an average of nearly 13 inches which was comparable to past catches on Jeanette. Growth rates were average compared to other walleye lakes in the area taking 5 years to reach 15 inches. Walleye from this sample ranged in age from 1 to 14 years old with every year class represented. Most of the fish were under 6 years old and no single year class was dominant. Nearly 41% of the 2019 catch came from stocked year classes. This does not mean all of these fish were stocked as there is no way to account for the naturally produced fish that also exist within those stocked year classes. The northern pike gillnet catch was 1.6 fish/net which was low compared to other similar lakes and slightly below average compared to past surveys on Jeanette. Sizes ranged from 16 to 34 inches with an average of 22 inches. The average weight was nearly 3 pounds which was good compared to other similar lakes. The yellow perch catch rate was 12.9 fish/net which was above average compared to other similar lakes but below average compared to past surveys on Jeanette. Perch likely play a major role in Jeanette as a primary food source for walleye and pike. Perch sizes were similar to past investigations, averaging 8 inches with the largest fish just over 12 inches.
