Bluegills averaged just 5. In general, bluegill populations in most area lakes average 6 inches or larger. Bluegills exhibited growth rates that were nearly 1 inch below the state average, which represents a slight growth decline since the survey. Although only one northern pike was captured in , several were captured during the survey.
Gill nets, the primary gear type used to sample pike populations, were not used in the survey. Anglers interviewed during the survey reported consistent catches of northern pike. In an effort to increase the chances for redear sunfish survival as well as to provide some genetic diversity to the existing population, more fingerling redear sunfish were stocked into Grass Lake in and Grass Lake was last surveyed in May of with four standard trap nets 8 x 5 x 3 foot, 1.
All of the nets were fished for 1 night. Gamefish species captured during this survey in descending order of abundance included bullhead, redear sunfish, bluegill, black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, yellow perch, northern pike and rock bass Tables 1a and 1b. Anaysis of growth rates and age composition may be found in tables 2 and 3.
Evaluation of the redear sunfish fingerlings previously stocked into this lake was the primary objective of the fisheries survey. Redear sunfish were found to have grown and survived very well in Grass Lake. Over redears were captured in trap nets. They averaged nearly 9 inches in length and one-half pound in weight, with several fish over 10 inches long.
Most of the redears caught in were four-years old and are likely survivors from fingerlings stocked in Five year classes of redears were represented in the fish sample indicating that natural reproduction is occurring Table 3. Redears exhibit growth rates nearly 1 inch above the state average Table 2. The goal of creating a "trophy" panfish has been achieved.
Based on growth analysis using fish scales, bluegills caught in trap and gill nets during the survey exhibited growth rates that were approximately 0. The slow bluegill growth observed in was consistent with past surveys. Grass Lake supports an excellent bullhead population. Bullheads were the most abundant fish species caught in trap nets and they averaged nearly 10 inches. This species is often overlooked by anglers even though they are fun to catch and are excellent table fare.
Black crappie caught in trap nets averaged 8. Crappies exhibited above average growth rates and appeared to be in very good physical condition. Pumpkinseed sunfish averaged over 6 inches and exhibited slightly above average growth rates. A few yellow perch were captured, ranging in size from 6 to nearly 11 inches. Perch averaged nearly 8 inches and were represented by four age groups.
Although not enough fish were captured to be statistically significant, all age groups of perch exhibited average or above average growth trends. Bluegills are targeted for sampling in inland lakes because of their role in determining fish community structure and overall sportfishing quality Schneider Even though the goal of lake surveys is to sample all fish species and all sizes present, many times the bluegill population is the only one adequately sampled because bluegills are typically one of the most abundant.
A ranking system has been developed that allows fish managers to get an idea of the relative quality of a lake's fish population Schneider On a scale of 1 to 7, the quality of the bluegill population in Grass Lake based on the trap net catch was calculated as 2. Results of past surveys suggest that a stable fishery exists in Grass Lake.
Survey records show that species composition has remained relatively unchanged with the notable exception of stocked redear sunfish.
