GRAVE LAKE

Grave Lake

^To Top

The 1999 Grave Lake management plan lists walleye as the primary species for management with northern pike as a secondary species.

Walleye were most recently stocked in 1998 and 1991 and have been stocked occasionally since 1958. Catch rates during historical assessments have ranged from 2.0 to 6.2 per gill net. The 2000 catch rate of 3.0 per gill net was typical for Grave Lake, and the mean weight of 1.9 pounds was above average for the lake.

Shoreline owners can directly help to maintain or improve water quality and fish habitat by following lakeshore development best management practices, such as maintaining or upgrading septic systems, minimizing nutrient inputs from fertilizer use, and leaving aquatic vegetation and terrestrial vegetation within at least 50 feet of the shoreline intact or restoring such vegetation to its native state.

LITTLE BASS LAKE

The bottom soil types in water less than 4 feet is predominately sand, but large areas of boulder, rubble, and gravel exist. These areas provide excellent spawning habitat for walleye and smallmouth bass.

WASHBURN LAKE

Washburn Lake

^To Top

Washburn Lake is a 1,554 acre lake located about 3 miles northwest of Outing in Cass County. The lake is comprised of 3 distinct basins. A public access is co-located at the Clinton Converse DNR Forestry Campground at the south end of the eastern basin. Based on 1993 data, development is considered moderate with 16.9 homes/cabins per shoreline mile.

The maximum depth is 111' and about 48% of the lake is 15' deep or less. Shallow water substrates consist primarily of sand and gravel, although areas of rubble, boulders, and muck are also present.

The aquatic plant community is quite diverse with 39 species present and is critical to maintaining healthy fish populations. Emergent plants such as bulrush are common along much of the shoreline, however just as common are numerous gaps in these beds along shorelines with developed lots.
