History & Status of the Fishery
On 03/19/2018 a concerned citizen reported dead fish on Long Lake to Conservation Officer Andy Schmidt, who forwarded the report to Duluth Area Fisheries staff.
On 03/20/18 Dan Wilfond and Zach Stewart met Andy Schmidt at the fish kill site along the southeast shoreline of Long Lake.
Many dead fish were observed in and around two small (~15m2) areas of open water (Figure 1, 2). Both open areas were directly adjacent to the road, and one open area was located at the base of a small (~8") drainage culvert. No flow was coming from the culvert. The majority of dead fish were bluegills < 3 inches in length, although some larger dead panfish and remains from at least one dead pike were also observed. Hundreds of live fish were present in the same areas of open water. The live fish appeared lethargic but healthy, and species included Bluegill, Black Crappie, Yellow Perch, and Largemouth Bass.
It is likely that low dissolved oxygen levels caused the fish kill. Relatively elevated dissolved oxygen levels (1.88 mg/L) at the open water areas suggest that live fish may be congregating there to seek refuge from low dissolved oxygen throughout the lake.
