  • Fisheries Management on Lake Vermilion in 2012
    Fisheries Management On Lake Vermilion In 2012 MN Dept. of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife Section of Fisheries 650 Highway 169 Tower, MN 55790 Phone: 218-753-2580 Introduction Lake Vermilion is part of the statewide Large Lake Program, an intensive fisheries management program on the 10 largest lakes in Minnesota. The Large Lake Program was started in 1984 when it became apparent that more detailed biological information was needed to properly manage these important lakes. A Large Lake Specialist was assigned to each lake to manage the program at the area level. The Large Lake Program includes annual fish population assessments, annual water quality monitoring, and regularly scheduled creel surveys. A variety of sampling gear is used during population assessments to collect the various fish species and life stages; including gill nets, trap nets, beach seines, and an electrofishing boat. Sampling for each gear type is conducted at the same time and place each year in order to determine population trends for the major species. Data is also collected on length, weight, age, and growth for each of the major species. Creel surveys are scheduled on Lake Vermilion for two consecutive years out of every six years. Creel survey is a scientific method of estimating fishing pressure and fish harvest from a series of boat counts and angler interviews. The last creel surveys were done in 2008 and 2009 with the next cycle of creel surveys scheduled for 2014 and 2015. The results of the 2012 fish population assessment are presented in the balance of this report.

  • Of 39 2019 Spring Fishing Harvest Summary 1837 & 1854 Ceded Territories, Including Mille Lacs Fond Du Lac Band of La
    2019 Spring Fishing Harvest Summary 1837 & 1854 Ceded Territories, Including Mille Lacs Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Summary prepared for the Ceded Territory & On-Reservation Conservation Committees By Brian Borkholder, Fisheries Biologist Organizational Planning: Declarations: Declarations for walleye harvest were made on a total of 7 lakes within the 1837 Ceded Territory of Minnesota and 15 lakes in the 1854 Ceded Territory (Table 1). No declarations were made for any Wisconsin 1837 or 1842 Ceded Territory lakes. Bandmember Sign-Up: Again in 2019, Fond du Lac (FDL) Bandmembers had the opportunity to sign-up online for spearing and netting activities. By signing up online, individuals provided Resource Management Division (RMD) staff with contact phone numbers and email addresses. Individuals could also call RMD staff during regular work hours to sign up, if this was easier. A total of 93 individuals signed up using this online tool, compared to 62 in 2018, 90 in 2017 and 61 in 2016. It should be noted that there were a few individuals that ultimately ended up participating that never did sign up, but rather called RMD on a daily basis to inquire about available harvest opportunities. Also, many individuals that did sign up never actually participated. Morning Notifications and Issuing Daily Permits: Each morning, RMD staff would choose lakes to open for that night and determine the number of available permits. Staff would send a mass email AND a mass text message to all individuals that had signed up and provided an email address and / or cell phone number. These email and texts would state the lakes open for the night.
