Survey results in full
Minnesota DNR's Standard Survey on June 18, 1992 caught 1.00 walleye per gill net at Kenney Lake.
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Kenney Lake’s water-quality measurements separately, and the water-quality trend over 6 years of monitoring is stable. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.

Northern pike (5.0/gillnet) was again caught in average numbers (similar to 1971- 6.0/gillnet) after not being sampled in gillnets in…

Common questions
What fish are in Kenney Lake?
Minnesota DNR's Standard Survey on June 18, 1992 caught 1.00 walleye per gill net at Kenney Lake. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Kenney Lake last surveyed?
The most recent fisheries survey on file for Kenney Lake is dated June 18, 1992. Survey intervals vary by lake and by species; a gap of several years between surveys is normal and does not mean the record is missing.
Is Kenney Lake stocked?
Minnesota DNR publishes a stocking history for Kenney Lake. It records which species were released, in what numbers and in which years — the source documents are linked further down this page. A lake can be stocked in some years and not others, so read the years rather than assuming an annual release.
Do the water-quality readings tell me how Kenney Lake fishes?
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Kenney Lake’s water-quality measurements separately, and the water-quality trend over 6 years of monitoring is stable. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.
Before you eat what you catch
Water-quality readings are not a consumption advisory. Mercury and PCB advice for Minnesota waters comes from MDH, and it is issued per species and per size class: a lake with clear, low-nutrient water can still carry a meal limit on larger predator fish.
