Just wondering the results of the last electroshock survey after the dam repair was complete. And info on this and who to talk to about enhancing the forage base or otherwise help the lake would be appreciated. Thanks.

If bluefish were the size of bluefin, I would poison the whole ocean.

Fishingbum,

We conducted an electrofishing survey this past spring after the lake refilled. We were pleasantly surprised to find that almost all fish species held over well in the pool of water that remained during the drawdown. As you can see from the data in our survey below (follow link to our web page), fish densities (numbers of fish caught per hour of electrofishing) were just fine! Unlike some other lakes that in the past have been completely drained, Beseck needed no remedial stocking to replenish its fish populations. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to your question.

There is a lot of interesting data in that document beyond the lake beseck data. Thanks for posting

I looks like the smallies didn't make it through the draw down.

Maybe The smallies were deeper when the boat went around the lake. They only shock to 6 ft or so. There is almost twice as many lmb, so let's hope some were smb.

A buddy of mine caught a smallie around 2 lbs last October. They're still in there. Not many, but they are there.
