History & Status of the Fishery
Common carp were causing some water quality problems when the lake was acquired in 2003, so a removal project was undertaken; 620 carp weighing 1500 lbs. were removed by 2008 and predator stockings were enhanced. The fishery has rebounded and now supports a more balanced combination of sport fish and pan fish. Occasional fish surveys take place to update the Status of the Fishery.
Approximately 10 fish species have recently been detected in this mid-size glacial lake: largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch, northern pike, yellow bass, black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, common carp, black bullhead. Hastings Lake receives annual stockings of 10? northern pike.
