Schubert Lake FishingNRNot rated for water quality
Minnesota DNR surveys at Schubert Lake average 11.37 largemouth bass per unit of sampling effort (CPUE) across 2 surveys. The most recent is a Standard Survey dated July 16, 2003. Length samples in the latest survey that recorded them ran 6–18 inches. In St. Louis County, Minnesota, Schubert Lake has no letter grade — the only measurement available is water clarity, which is not a water-quality indicator on its own — EPA's National Lakes Assessment does not grade clarity. Water clarity averages 6.5 feet of visibility. The survey figures on this page are Minnesota DNR's own; the water-quality grade comes from EPA Water Quality Portal samples. Neither is a forecast of today's bite.
Species recorded at Schubert Lake
9 species on the Minnesota DNR list for this lake. A species on the list has been recorded here; it does not mean it is catchable today or in every part of the lake.
Stocking at Schubert Lake
No stocking record for Schubert 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.

A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not a water-quality grade. LakeQuality does not assign an A–F grade on Schubert Lake — official chemistry is on file, not a letter, and the water-quality trend over 5 years of monitoring is stable. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.

CPUE = catch per unit effort, averaged across surveys (excludes juvenile shoreline seining). Higher CPUE means more abundant in standardized sampling. This is not a weekly bite report.

From the 2003-07-16 survey
Schubert Lake is a 205 acre lake with 140 (68%) littoral acres and a maximum depth of 24 feet. It is located east of Highway 53 off of CR #815. There is no public back-in boat access, however, the lake is accessible off of CR #815. Primary management is for largemouth bass and smallmouth bass although walleye…

Common questions
What fish are in Schubert Lake?
Minnesota DNR surveys at Schubert Lake average 11.37 largemouth bass per unit of sampling effort (CPUE) across 2 surveys. The most recent is a Standard Survey dated July 16, 2003. Length samples in the latest survey that recorded them ran 6–18 inches. Minnesota DNR lists 9 species for the lake in total. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Schubert Lake last surveyed?
The most recent fisheries survey on file for Schubert Lake is dated July 16, 2003. 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 Schubert Lake stocked?
No stocking record for Schubert 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.
Does the water-quality grade tell me how Schubert Lake fishes?
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not a water-quality grade. LakeQuality does not assign an A–F grade on Schubert Lake — official chemistry is on file, not a letter, and the water-quality trend over 5 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
A water-quality grade is 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 can grade well and still carry a meal limit on larger predator fish.
