LOW CATCHES PREVENT IN DEPTH DESCRIPTION OF THE SPORT FISH POPULATION STATUS. NORTHERN PIKE, PUMPKINSEED, LARGEMOUTH BASS, AND WALLEYE ARE PRESENT. WALLEYES WERE NOT COLLECTED DURING THE LAST ASSESSMENT AND WERE MOST LIKELY INTRODUCED BY FISHERMEN. NO BLUEGILL WERE COLLECTED DURING THIS ASSESSMENT. THE MOST ABUNDANT FISH CAPTURED WAS THE BLACK BULLHEAD. CATCHES OF BLACK BULLHEAD WERE HIGH AND OF AVERAGE SIZE WHEN COMPARED TO WATERS OF THE SAME LAKE CLASSIFICATION.
