History & Status of the Fishery
Hydes Lake is a 222-acre lake with a maximum depth of 18 feet, located northeast of Norwood Young America, in west central Carver County. Hydes Lake has been known to "boom or bust" in previous years, with the last partial winterkill occurring during the winter of 2010-2011. Hydes is actively managed for Largemouth Bass, but includes catchable populations of Bluegill, Black Crappie, and Northern Pike. A Standard Survey (trap nets and gill nets) was conducted on Hydes Lake during the week of 7/24/17. During the survey, water clarity was 2.5 feet, with low oxygen below 10 feet. Eurasian Watermilfoil also remains present in Hydes Lake.
Largemouth Bass were sampled at a rate of 49.4 fish per hour; this value is the first from effort specifically targeting Largemouth Bass in Hydes Lake. Largemouth Bass averaged 11.0 inches-- with the largest measuring 19.1 inches-- while 17% of fish sampled were over 15 inches. Growth was slow compared to similar lakes across the state. Despite slow growth, the Largemouth Bass population in Hydes is healthy, with many year classes of fish.
Bluegill were sampled with trap nets at low numbers (11.9/net) compared to similar lakes. Bluegill averaged 6.3 inches, with the largest measured at 9.1 inches. Approximately 22% of sampled fish were greater than 7 inches. Despite low numbers, Hydes Lake has the potential to provide Bluegill angling opportunity.
Black Crappie were sampled with gill nets (9.0/net) and trap nets (4.7/net) -- near the expected catch rates of similar lakes. Black Crappie averaged 8.1 inches, with the largest measured at 11.8 inches. Growth was fast, with an average size of 8.7 inches by age 3. Approximately 27% of Black Crappie Sampled in Hydes Lake were greater than 9 inches.
Northern Pike numbers in Hydes Lake were high, with 14.0/net. Average size of Northern Pike in gill nets was 21.8 inches, with the largest measured at 27 inches. The majority of Northern Pike sampled were small, with 71% less than 22 inches. However, high numbers of small pike provides a good opportunity to take advantage of the new Northern Pike regulation (which begins in 2018), where possession limit increases to 10, but with no more than two pike longer than 26 inches; all from 22 to 26 inches must be released.
Other fish species sampled in the 2017 survey included: Black Bullhead, Common Carp, Yellow Bullhead, and Yellow Perch.
