Fish Stocking and Monitoring Summary

  • Monitoring on Whitewater Lake indicates
    – a moderate catch rate of average to above average sized largemouth bass
    – a low catch rate of nice sized northern pike and walleye
    – an average catch rate of relatively small panfish (bluegill, perch, crappie)
    – Rice Lake produced the same results, but no walleyes
  • Higher stocking rate for Whitewater Lake in 2015. Increased stocking of large fingerling walleye and northern pike will provide fishing opportunities for these top predator species while also potentially improving panfish size structure through increased predatory control
