History & Status of the Fishery
Little Wolf is a 528-acre lake, located 4 miles northwest of Cass Lake, MN within the Chippewa National Forest. A targeted re-survey was completed by Bemidji Area Fisheries staff on Little Wolf Lake during late July of 2019 to assess the nearshore fish community and overall health of the lake. The initial survey was completed in early July of 2019 by the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) program staff.
In this survey, 14 nearshore sites (100-foot) were evenly spaced along the lakeshore to sample a variety of aquatic habitat types and collect a representative sample of the nearshore fish community. Depending on the habitat conditions at each site, backpack electrofishing and shoreline seining were attempted. A total of eight sites were sampled with a seine, while backpack electrofishing was completed at all 14 sites. A total of 15 species of fish were sampled, which included four species (Banded Killifish, Blacknose Shiner, Iowa Darter, and Rock Bass) that are intolerant to disturbance or poor water quality.
Nearshore fish community data was analyzed with information collected from the standard survey completed in 2019 to calculate a Fish-based Index of Biologic Integrity (FIBI) score to measure the biological condition and overall health of Little Wolf Lake. In Minnesota lakes, certain fish species cannot survive without clean water and healthy habitat (e.g. Blackchin Shiner, Least Darter, and Rock Bass), while other species are tolerant of degraded conditions (e.g. Black Bullhead, Fathead Minnow, and Green Sunfish). The combination of fish species present may identify stressors negatively affecting the lake environment. The FIBI score is composed of several fish community diversity and composition metrics to indicate the overall health of a lake by comparing it to what is expected for a healthy lake. For additional information on FIBI, search for "lake index of biological integrity" on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website (www.mndnr.gov).
Data from this survey indicated Little Wolf Lake is in good health with a FIBI score above the impairment and exceptional thresholds for aquatic life use determined for similar lakes. In coordination with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, data from this survey will contribute biological information about the health of the fish community to the Mississippi River (Headwaters) Watershed assessment.
