History & Status of the Fishery
Locke Lake is a 156-acre general development lake located one mile southeast of Hasty in northern Wright County. The watershed is large (32,365 acres) and the primary land uses are cultivated crops (43%), forest (16%), and hay/pasture (11%). A downstream barrier on Silver Creek isolates Locke Lake from the Mississippi River. A public access is located on the northeast side of the lake.
Walleye is a primary managed species in Locke Lake and have been sustained through fry stocking since 1999. Since 2009, fry have been stocked at a rate of 2,000 per littoral acre, augmented by surplus fry from the hatchery or fry stocked by the lake association. Fall night electrofishing catch rates have varied from zero to 103 young of the year (YOY) per hour (on time). In 2023, 30 YOY Walleye were sampled along with 6 Walleye age-1 or older.
Fall electrofishing results in 2023 (36.0/hr) were higher than 2021 (10.3/hr) and indicate successful fry stocking and survival (>25/hr). The catch rate of larger walleye in 2023 was 7.2/hr with lengths ranging from 15.6 to 21.8 inches with an average length of 17.9 inches. The gill net catch during the most recent survey in 2021 (2.5/gill net) was similar to the previous survey in 2016 (2.7/gill net). Based on gillnetting and electrofishing results, fry stocking at the current level should be continued. Fingerlings can also be stocked on a contingency basis when fry survival is poor (<25/hr) and fingerlings are available.
