Lake Sharpe 2009 Fishing Forecast
Click Here to Access PDF File of 2009 Lake Sharpe Forecast
Each year, biologists working on Lake Sharpe collect information on fish populations from many fisheries surveys conducted throughout the year. They also collect information on angler use and harvest of those populations through creel surveys.
By looking at trends in fish populations and angler use and harvest, predictions can be made about fishing on Lake Sharpe for 2009.
Key Issues for 2009 for Lake Sharpe
- Catch of small walleye will be very common in 2009 due to 4 previous years of good production of walleye. These small walleye are the future walleye fishery for Lake Sharpe.
- Natural production of walleye for 4 years (2001-2004) was below average and has limited the number of fish above the 15-inch minimum length limit the past few years.
- Smallmouth bass fishery will provide an excellent fishery for the future.
- White bass population is rebuilding due to a widespread die off in 2005.
- Boating access is not an issue on Lake Sharpe in most areas of the reservoir.
