Stocking at Laddie Lake
No stocking record for Laddie Lake appears in the Minnesota DNR material on file. That is an absence in the published record, not a confirmation that the lake is unstocked — some waters are managed as naturally reproducing and never appear in a stocking list at all.
Survey results in full
Minnesota DNR's Standard Survey on September 19, 1983 caught 0.40 largemouth bass per trap net at Laddie Lake.
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Laddie Lake’s water-quality measurements separately, and the water-quality trend over 3 years of monitoring is improving. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.

Common questions
What fish are in Laddie Lake?
Minnesota DNR's Standard Survey on September 19, 1983 caught 0.40 largemouth bass per trap net at Laddie Lake. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Laddie Lake last surveyed?
The most recent fisheries survey on file for Laddie Lake is dated September 19, 1983. 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 Laddie Lake stocked?
No stocking record for Laddie Lake appears in the Minnesota DNR material on file. That is not the same as a confirmed unstocked lake: it means no stocking document was published for it in the records this page draws on.
Do the water-quality readings tell me how Laddie Lake fishes?
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Laddie Lake’s water-quality measurements separately, and the water-quality trend over 3 years of monitoring is improving. 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.
