Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers.

History & Status of the Fishery

A survey of nearshore fish species was conducted on Marie Lake from July 8 - 11, 2019 by Sauk Rapids Area staff. Ten sampling sites were evenly spaced around the shoreline and each site was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining, except one site where dense vegetation prevented seining.

Nearshore sampling captured 15 species of fish, including one species that is intolerant of poor water quality or habitat disturbance (Iowa Darter). Data from the nearshore fish survey were combined with gill net and trap net data from a June 2019 standard survey to describe the fish community and provide a fish based Index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI) score based on expectations for similar lakes. A FIBI uses fish community data as a measurement of lake health. The FIBI score for Marie Lake was 64 which was well above the impairment threshold (FIBI > 36) using Tool 7.

This survey is contributing to a watershed assessment process in coordination with the MN Pollution Control Agency. Marie Lake is located in the Mississippi River - St. Cloud Watershed.
