Status of the Fishery (as of 08/16/1999)Pimushe Lake is located about 5 miles north of Pennington off The Scenic Highway (County Road #39). Pimushe Lake is a moderately sized, deep, clear water lake with an irregular shoreline and many small bays. Pimushe is a popular fishing lake, and anglers can pursue their favorite species from the following list: Largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, and panfish. The diversity of habitat types available has allowed this variety of species to maintain themselves through natural reproduction with no stocking since 1976. Bluegill have been the main attraction in recent times, and Pimushe Lake has a reputation for producing quality-size fish. Size and abundance of bluegill has declined since 1988, though some quality size fish are still available. About 14% of the bluegills sampled in the 1999 standard lake assessment were more than 8 inches long. Increased angling pressure is likely contributing to the decline in abundance of larger bluegill, but other limiting factors seem to be contributing to the problem as well. Anglers are encouraged to practice some harvest restraint to help retain the quality component of this fishery. Black crappie abundance is low, but they are pursued seasonally by anglers. An aging sample from the spring assessment suggests that every year class back to 1992 is present, but some year classes are more prominent than others. The largest crappie sampled in 1999 was 11.2 inches. Walleye are moderately abundant and assessment catch rates are similar to most comparable lakes. Natural reproduction has been consistent as evidenced by the aging sample with all year classes since 1992 represented. Anglers who get to know the lake structure, and fish for walleye, can do well. The largest walleye captured in the 1999 assessment was 24.8 inches long; the average was 14.0 inches. Pimushe Lake has a long history of high angler catches of small northern pike. The latest assessment confirms that this trend will continue. The largest pike sampled was 25.3 inches long. Average length was 18.9 inches. No pike older than age five were sampled. Largemouth bass and rock bass are present and sought by some anglers. Yellow perch, though not abundant, are common, and some are large enough to be acceptable to anglers. White suckers and tullibee are present, but they are not commonly sought by anglers. Their primary importance is as forage for the larger gamefish. Tullibee can be legally harvested by gill nets during the fall. Black, brown, and yellow bullheads, bowfin, and burbot are also present. Neascus (black spot) is common on northern pike, walleye, and all panfish. Yellow grubs were observed in some perch. Depending on the degree of infestation, fish with these parasites may be unsightly but are edible. --Located 30 minutes from White Birch Resort--
