Fish Status |
Average | The bluegill population was sampled by 37 fish in fall electrofishing survey. The current bluegill population is rated as average with a few fish sampled up to 7.5 inches in length. The population appeared to be improving in 2020 with 48% of the sample over 7 inches in length, but it has declined since then. This population is of high density and in average body condition with a Wr average of 89. | |
Poor | In 2024, no black or white crappie were sampled. No harvest or length limit is necessary currently for the crappie population. IDNR District Fisheries Biologist stocked 800 Hybrid Crappie (F1 Blacknose male x White crappie female) at an average of 4 inches length on 10/31/2024 from the Banner Marsh Rearing Ponds. | |
Good | The largemouth bass population was evaluated by 47 stock size bass from electrofishing. The largemouth bass population appears to be defined by a high-density of fish from 5 to 15 inches in length. The submerged aquatic vegetation level was approximately 1%. The submerged vegetation control will continue to be needed to manage in this water supply reservoir for water quality and for fish management. The current bass regulation should remain in place for 2025. And the harvest of bass under 12 inches can be encouraged to help thin this part of the population. | |
