History & Status of the Fishery
Minnesota DNR Fisheries IBI program staff assessed lakeshore habitat on Clear Lake on Sep 8th, 2022, following the Score the Shore survey protocols. The assessment consisted of 35 survey sites evenly spaced 200 meters around the lake. Assessments were made in three habitat zones: Shoreline Zone (the shore-water interface to the top of the natural bank), Shoreland Zone (land-ward from shoreline to development structure or 100 feet), and Aquatic Zone (lake-ward 50 feet of shoreline). The average lakewide habitat score was 65.5 (±3.7) out of 100 possible, which is moderate-low and below the statewide average score of 73. A low score indicates that sites are typically developed and have a lower than expected amount of natural habitat. Approximately 80% of the sites were developed with a mean score of 59.4 (±3.8), while undeveloped sites had a mean score of 90.0 (±2.6).
