History & Status of the Fishery
STATUS OF FISHERY: The fish population of this lake is dominated by small crappie and small bluegill. Less than1% of the crappie sampled and none of the bluegill sampled were large enough for most anglers to keep. Two sub-legal hybrid muskie and two larger northern pike, believed to be migrants from Lake Elmo, were taken during thisinvestigation. Local reports indicate that 30 to 40 inch hybrid muskie are caught quite readily in this lake. The lack of public access and suitable parking area are major limiting factors to fishing on this lake.
