Trade lakes’ multi-species fishery getting some help in Wisconsin
Published: , in Outdoor News
The local DNR fisheries team ran a survey on Big Trade Lake and Little Trade Lake in the early spring and late spring of 2021 to assess panfish and game fish populations.
The team views the pair as one lake for survey purposes. The team ran fyke (trap) nets for 10 days starting April 15 that year. Fyke nets capture early-spawning game fish species such as northern pike, walleyes, and muskies. Electrofishing runs after the water warms a bit later in the spring, and is done along shoreline shallows aimed at bass and panfish.
