Lynch Lake: Fisheries Management

  • Lynch Lake was stocked with walleye as a rearing pond in spring 2017 and spring 2018 by the MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to help control the bullheads, as well as provide some recreational opportunities for those that aren't recaptured in the fall.
  • On May 24th, 2018 the DNR stocked 70,000 Walleye fry into the north/west basin of Lynch Lake (photos below)
  • On August 14th, 2018 the North basin of Lynch Lake was found to be in a high quality state for water quality and native vegetation, while the South basin remained turbid. There was no Walleye spotted, however many young largemouth bass (2-5 inches) were observed, indicating natural reproduction or stocking.
