What aquatic invasive species are found in Clearwater Lake?
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. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.
History & Status of the Fishery
The Walleye population has been sustained through biennial fry stocking since 1998 with annual stocking taking place from 2014 - 2019; however, fall electrofishing results have only exceeded the target catch rate of 25 young-of-year (YOY)/hour three times since then. In 2014, electrofishing stations were standardized with sites being added so results since then may have been lower than if only the original stations were used.
Night electrofishing was conducted on October 24, 2023, and only two YOY Walleye were collected with a YOY catch rate of 1.0/ hour (on-time). The catch rate of age-1 and older Walleye was 14.5/hour and lengths of those fish ranged from 8.9 to 26.2 inches. The most recent lake survey (2022) had a Walleye catch rate of 2.7/gill net which is below the target goal of > 4/gill net.
To help supplement the Walleye population fingerlings were stocked in Clearwater Lake in the fall of 2019 (55,889 fish) and 2022 (42,168 fish). Fingerling stocking is expensive, time consuming, and subject to availability, so biennial fry stocking will continue with supplemental fingerling stocking taking place as needed. Zebra mussels were found in the lake in 2015 and increased water clarity has been observed. Lower Walleye catch rates preceded zebra mussel infestation, so zebra mussels are probably not to blame for lower Walleye abundance. However, their future effect on fry survival is uncertain and may be negative.
