History & Status of the Fishery
A survey of near shore fish species was conducted on French Lake on July 27, 2016 by the Sauk Rapids DNR Fisheries office. Ten sampling sites were evenly spaced around the shoreline and each site was sampled by backpack electrofishing and seining, excepting one site where soft sediments prevented the use of a seine. Nearshore sampling captured 16 species of fish, including one species that is intolerant of shoreline disturbance and/or poor water quality (Iowa Darter).
The near shore fish survey data is combined with gill net and trap net data from a July 2013 survey to describe the fish community and provide a fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI) score based on expectations for similar lakes. The FIBI score for French Lake is above an impairment threshold developed for similar lakes; of note was an absence of tolerant fish species, and high number of small benthic and vegetation-dwelling fish species sampled.
This survey is contributing to a watershed assessment process in coordination with the MN Pollution Control Agency. French Lake is located in the Mississippi River - St. Cloud Watershed.
