History & Status of the Fishery
A standard survey was completed on Beauty Lake the week of July 10 with specific targeted sampling for Largemouth Bass and Black Crappie completed in May. This survey is a replicate of the survey completed in 2017 and while data variability can be considerable, Northern Pike and Walleye populations remain similar to what they were in 2017. Yellow Perch abundance appears to have increased since 2017, while Largemouth Bass, Bluegill and Black Crappie remain within the range we'd expect for this lake.
Based on results from this survey, anglers can expect a Northern Pike population generally comprised of fish ranging from 13-30 inches with the majority around 20 inches. About a third of the population measures over 24 inches which is decent compared to other Area lakes similar in character. Walleyes have never been very abundant in Beauty Lake, and this continues to be the case. Fingerling stockings from 2001-2015 have failed to produce a fishery. Reasons for this are not conclusive but it is likely due to competition and predation from Northern Pike and an overall presence of habitat favoring bass and panfish rather than Walleye.
Largemouth Bass captured while electrofishing ranged from 7-19 inches with nearly two-thirds of the sample measuring over 12 inches. Total average length of the sample was 13.4 inches. Bluegill and Black Crappies captured in trap nets averaged 6.2 and 7.3 inches with Bluegills more abundant than crappies. Aging data for crappies was examined and growth rate was determined to be "moderate" with individual fish taking about seven years to reach 10 inches. Beauty Lake was selected for participation in the statewide Quality Sunfish Initiative which requires anglers to release all sunfish once the harvest limit of five is caught. The objective of the lowered bag limit is to reduce sunfish harvest and allow for more fish to attain larger sizes (8-10 inches). Monitoring efforts are ongoing, and it is too early to determine regulation impacts.
