The lake was stocked on 11/6/2015 with Tiger Muskie, Walleye, Channel Cat and Hybrid Striped Bass.
Tiger Muskie:  Quantity stocked today was 10 and 1 foot long.
muskieThis is the largest breed and most allusive fish in the lake.  It is stocked for one reason and that is to thin out an above normal shad (minnow) population and some of our crappie.  The Muskie are regulated at 1 per acre.  They do not multiply.
Longest recorded Muskie recorded:  3 feet long. It was shocked up by DNR during fish study.  Gary Arth verified.
This is a catch and release fish.  They are very difficult to catch but easy to hook.  The will eat any type of bait.  Finding one and getting it into the boat will be a huge challenge.  If you do get one in the boat,  Bring pliers as these fish have K-9 type teeth.  They are easy to identify because they are Tiger Striped Muskie and have tiger stripe rings that work down from nose to fin.
Walleye:  Quantity stocked today was 400 and 6 to 8 inches long.
walleyeVerified a dozen each year caught.  Usually when you catch a Walleye it turns out to be a nice surprise and unexpected.  We have been dedicated with stocking Walleye the last 8 years.  We are getting positive reports that these fish are being caught.  Bring pliers as these fish have K-9 type teeth.
Largest recorded Walleye recorded was 30 inches 4 years ago.  I caught it and verified by Bob Jones as he cleaned it and I ate it.  🙂
Channel Cat:  Quantity stocked today was 300 and were around 2 pounds.
This is also and incredible fish to catch.  If you hook a 12 pound Channel Cat get ready as they are the “bull dogs” of the lake.  Powerful strong swimmers.
A 74 pound Blue cat was caught by Alex Moselle, Tyler Cooper, and Mason Surenson just a couple years ago.
Reports of another large Blue cat was caught this year but not verified or I need more information.
Hybrid Striper Bass:  Quantity 600 and were around 4 inches long.  The fifth class.
hybridbassstriper4th Class stripers: 3 to 5lbs.
3rd Class Stripers: 6 to 7lbs
2nd Class Stripers: 8 to 9lbs
1st Class Stripers: 10 to 12 lbs.
(Results documented and/or recorded information)
This fish is a fun challenge to catch.  They have no quit in them for at least 5 to 10 minutes if not longer.  If you try to hog them in any faster,  you will break your line or the hooks on your bait will be straightened.   If you do get one in the boat it is the best game fish we have in the lake and you will have a blast catching one.
Bass:  None stocked.  Thriving in lake and no need to stock as they stock themselves.
2ndclassstripperBass population seems to be holding up but getting over fished.  Some reports from fishermen and others have witnessed on many different accounts of boats keeping amounts well over the amount limits.  If this continues for years on end, this species and the balance we have with them right now will be changed.
Remember, Bass meat is best from 1.5 to 2.75lbs to eat.  The best breeders in the bass class goes by weight from 3lbs and up.
Crappie: None Stocked.
Slightly over populated and currently there is no limit on how many crappie you keep.  Thriving in this lake.
There are some large crappie in this lake and recorded at over 14 inches.  There are also many mid size to small crappie as well.
Grass Carp:  They were considered for stocking this year but ultimately the board correctly made the call by not stocking grass carp in the lake.
Walt Heck: If you have pics of a 1st or 2nd class striper please send to me at waltheckwalt@gmail.com.I would also like to see any pics of large channel cats, any Walleye, any Muskie and bass over 5lbs.  It helps me understand the fish balance in this lake better and I take them and send them to my friends and tell them that I caught it!
