This lake was successfully treated with rotenone to eradicate brown bullhead and fathead minnow in September. Estimates from the day after treatment yielded roughly 13,700 brown bullheads, 51,000 fathead minnow and 35 rainbow trout dead along the shoreline.
There were 7 nets placed throughout the lake for one month after treatment. Zero fish were caught so we hope that it was successful. Let’s cross our fingers so that Heart Lake can once again be an amazing rainbow trout fishery. It will be stocked in the spring of 2023.
