  • LAKE MICHIGAN Man’S Effects on Native Fish Stocks and Other Biota
    LAKE MICHIGAN Man’s Effects on Native Fish Stocks and Other Biota LaRUE WELLS Great Lakes Fishery Laboratory Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Ann Arbor, Michigan 48107 and ALBERTON L. MCLAIN Division of Fisheries Services Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Twin Cities, Minnesota 55 111 TECHNICAL REPORT No. 20 GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 1451 Green Road P.O. Box 640 Ann Arbor, Michigan January 1973 FOREWORD This paper is one of seven lake case histories-Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Opeongo, and Lake Kootenay. Concise versions of these papers, together with other lake case histories developed for and by an international symposium on Salmonid Communities in Oligotrophic Lakes (SCOL) appeared in a special issue of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (Vol. 29, No. 6, June, 1972). While this and each of the others in this series is complete in itself, it should be remembered that each formed a part of SCOL and is supplemented by the others. Because much detail of interest to fisheries workers in the Great Lakes area would not otherwise be available, this and the other case histories revised and refined in the light of events at the symposium are published here. SCOL symposium was a major exercise in the synthesis of existing knowledge. The objective was to attempt to identify the separate and joint effects of three major stresses imposed by man: cultural eutrophication, exploitation, and species introduction on fish communities. Recently glaciated oligotrophic lakes were chosen as an “experimental set.” Within the set were lakes which have been free of stresses, lakes which have been subjected to one stress, and lakes which have been subjected to various combinations of stresses.

  • " Wisconsin Lakes" PUB-FH-800 2005Rev
    Excerpted, with permission, from Wisconsin Lakes Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources PUB-FH-800 2009 For the full Lakes Directory, visit http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/lakes/lakebook/wilakes2009bmA.pdf Artificial Lakes Artificial lakes are human-made bodies of water referred to as impoundments. In this publication, a lake is considered an impoundment if one-half or more of its maximum depth results from a dam or other type of control structure. An impound- ment is considered a drainage lake since it has an inlet and outlet with its principal water source coming from stream drainage. Approximately 13 percent of Wisconsin’s lakes fit this definition. Lake Type Characterizations The water quality of a lake and species of fish present are significantly influenced by the lake type. For example, drainage lakes support fish populations which are not necessarily identical to the streams connected to them. Drainage lakes, particularly impoundments, usually have higher nutrient levels than many natural seepage or spring lakes. In contrast to drainage lakes, landlocked seepage lakes are not influenced by streams. Consequently, seepage lakes frequently have a less diverse fishery. Seepage lakes also have a smaller drainage area, which may help to account for lower nutrient levels. About the Contents of this Publication This booklet contains information on all named lakes in Wisconsin and all unnamed lakes of more than 20 acres. The lakes are listed alphabetically by county. The following notes may help you use this publication. Lake Name - The official name is listed according to “Wisconsin Geographical 1 Names” and as shown on U.S.

  • Trout) Lake Chippewa County, T44N, R6W, Many Sections Carp River Watershed, May-August 2005
    Michigan Department of Natural Resources 2005-15 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Carp (Trout) Lake Chippewa County, T44N, R6W, many sections Carp River watershed, May-August 2005 Tim A. Cwalinski, Fisheries Management Biologist Environment Carp Lake, at one time known as Big Trout Lake, is the largest lake in the Carp River watershed. This 560-acre lake is located in the extreme southwest part of Chippewa County and lies one mile west of the village of Trout Lake. Various inlets enter the lake including the outlet from Little Carp Lake (Kneebone Creek) along the northeast shore, and Big Ditch, Betchers and Schweinger creeks along the south shore. The outlet of Carp Lake is a channel which forms the Carp River. There is no control structure on the outlet. The maximum water depth of Carp Lake is 35 feet. A good portion of the lake is more than 20 feet deep. The lake is thermally stratified in the summer, with colder water and lower dissolved oxygen levels down deep. Bottom substrate consists predominantly of sand in the shallower shoals and pulpy peat (organic matter) in the deeper areas. Three rock reefs covering more than 16,000 square feet exist along the north and northeast shoreline in shallow water. The reefs are made of limestone and were placed in the lake in 1974 in attempts to enhance walleye spawning and nursery habitat. Aquatic vegetation in the lake is limited to emergent bulrush beds, and various species of pondweeds and other submergents. Few limnological surveys have been made on Carp Lake in the past.

    Illinois 2021 REGULATION INFORMATION Effective: April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022 Inside: • Current fishing regulations • Aquatic nuisance species • Places to fish • Illinois fish and your health • Current state records • Catchable trout program • Angler Alerts! • Free Fishing Days Division of Fisheries www.dnr.illinois.govFC1 www.ifishillinois.org Message from the Director Thank you for your interest in fishing in Illinois and for reviewing this 2021 edition of the Illinois Fishing Information guide. This booklet is an excellent resource for details on the best places to fish in Illinois, along with the rules and regulations in place for the 2021 season. During the last year, as we all dealt with the many challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, we saw an increase in interest in spending time outdoors in Illinois, including new and renewed interest in fishing. Our Division of Fisheries staff prepared this 2021 Illinois Fishing Information guide to provide an updated summary of statewide fishing regulations, as well as details on important site-specific regulations organized by the body of water or water area at which those regulations apply. On occasion, some site-specific regulations may be changed in emergency situations through the administrative rule process. In those cases, the changes are posted at the location where the rules apply, and online at www.ifishillinois.org. A reminder that the 2021 Illinois Free Fishing Days will be Friday, June 18 through Monday, June 21 – Father’s Day weekend – providing families and individuals a chance to go fishing even if they have not yet purchased an Illinois fishing license. The purchases of fishing licenses and equipment help fund our fisheries programs and ensure the future of fishing in Illinois.
