History & Status of the Fishery
Bartlett Lake is a 304-acre lake located on the northeastern edge of the town of Northome, MN. Bartlett is a highly productive lake that has a history of frequent winterkill events. Between winterkill events, Bartlett is capable of quickly rebounding to provide fish that are of interest to anglers. A winterkill event occurred in 2014, and in response to that event adult Black Crappie and Northern Pike have been stocked in the lake. A full population assessment was completed in July of 2021. Northern Pike, Bluegill, and Yellow Perch were the only game species sampled in the survey.
Northern Pike were represented by all year classes from 2014 to 2019 with the exception of 2017. The 2019 year class was most abundant in the survey. The Northern Pike catch rate was extremely high at 19.3/net. Northern Pike ranged in length from 18 to 24.8 inches, with a mean of 20.4 inches.
Black crappie were not captured during the survey. Four Bluegill were captured in trap nets, ranging in length from 6 to 8.3 inches.
Yellow Perch were very abundant (107.3/net), with some preferred length fish in the catch. The mean length of Yellow Perch was 7 inches, ranging in length from 5.7 to 11.9 inches.
