JBMasterAngler Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Does the DNR still stock trout in beaver dam lake? The most recent reports I could find were from 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Roughly 200 adult (>20inches) brown trout are stocked yearly. there should be some in there. Note that they are primarily there to chomp on Rainbow Smelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah, that was also some of the info I found. Smelt were abundant in the 70's, disappeared, then came back. Do you know if rainbow trout yearlings are still stocked? With or without trout, this lake looks promising anyway, but trout are always a fun bonus.

Nick Kuhn Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think Rainbows were tried as fingerlings for a while but that was discontinued. I've never fished the lake, I just know they are trying to get smelt numbers down to get walleye numbers up.Also lots of other good bass lakes in the area, especially if you like fishing lily pads.

hitthebricks Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 By a strange coincidence I will be spending the weekend on the lake. How is the walleye population doing and northern?ThanksHTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 ive also heard of a fairly decent lake trout bite the last couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Based on the limited info I have on the lake, it has a high population of mostly small pike. Lot's of smallies, and a decent walleye population. Walleye fingerlings are stocked every other year. I'm guessing it could be a good night fishing lake.The only records I could find of lake trout stocking was back in the 70's, and after a couple attempts they gave it up due to poor survival. I'm gonna e-mail the DNR and see if I can get some up to date info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrid Houston Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ice fished with mixed success. Have seen some big walleyes and browns on pics from friends though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 One of those big browns is what I'm hoping for, but will happily settle for bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
