Minnesota DNR's Standard Survey on July 6, 1987 caught 19.50 black bullhead per gill net at Stakke Lake. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Stakke Lake last surveyed?
The most recent fisheries survey on file for Stakke Lake is dated July 6, 1987. 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 Stakke Lake stocked?
Minnesota DNR publishes a stocking history for Stakke 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 Stakke Lake fishes?
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Stakke Lake’s water-quality measurements separately. 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.
