History & Status of the Fishery
Little Osakis Lake is a small, lightly developed basin which is connected to Lake Osakis by a shallow, non-navigable stream. There is no public access to Little Osakis Lake. The Head of the Lakes Resort on Lake Osakis owns a boat ramp that can be used to access Little Osakis via a small channel under Highway 10. However, only small boats can maneuver under this bridge.The lake supports an abundant and diverse aquatic plant community. Most of the shoreline is fringed with emergent vegetation and submergent vegetation is dense in most shallow areas. These plants provide spawning habitat and nursery areas for many gamefish. Aquatic vegetation is also important for protecting water quality and clarity. Aquatic plants protect the shoreline from wave induced erosion, filter nutrient and sediment from surface water run off, and compete with nuisance algae for the available nutrients in the water. The fish community in Little Osakis is typical of a small, densely vegetated lake. Northern pike and bluegill are relatively abundant, however average size tends to be small. Northern pike average about 20 inches in length and two pounds in weight. Most of the bluegill sampled were less than 6.5 inches in length. Walleye are present in low numbers. The lake has not been stocked with walleye because there is no public access. Walleye, as well as other species, are able to move between Lake Osakis and Little Osakis. Largemouth bass and black crappie were also captured in survey nets. These species are likely important components of the fish community, however they are not effectively sampled with standard survey nets during summer months.
