Status of the Fishery (as of 08/27/2007)
East Rush is a 1,359-acre lake managed for walleye, northern pike, and muskellunge. East Rush is assigned to lake class 24. Lakes in class 24 are moderately deep and highly fertile. Muskie and walleye populations are maintained through stocking, although walleye natural reproduction is common. Biennial fall fingerling stocking is conducted for both species but in alternate years. Additionally, walleye fry were stocked annually in the spring from 2000 to 2004. The long-range population goals for walleyes and northerns, as indexed by test netting, are 5 and 2 per gillnet lift respectively with a 4 pound mean for northerns. Muskellunge are indexed in separate spring trapnetting assessments. In order to assess population goals and the current stocking protocol, East Rush Lake was surveyed in August of 2007.
The northern pike gillnet catch was 5.1 per lift with an average weight of 3.6 pounds. The catch exceeded the management goal and the 2002 value. Abundance was normal for lake class 24 but the mean size was high. Sampled northerns ranged from 18.4 to 37.0 inches with a 25.4 inch mean. The 2007 catch was slightly higher than the 30 year average for East Rush Lake. The nine trapnetted northerns averaged 29.4 inches and ranged from 15.5 to 41.3 inches.
Walleyes were sampled at a rate of 5.3 per gillnet which is in the normal range for lake class 24. The walleye catch increased since 2002 and met the lake management goal. Fish were acceptable size having a mean weight of 2.1 pounds and a 19.5 inch modal length. The 30 year average for East Rush Lake is 2.7 walleyes per gillnet lift. Night electrofishing in October failed to sample any walleye hatched in 2007.
Yellow perch, a primary forage for both northerns and walleyes, have historically been moderate in abundance. The 2007 catch was no exception with the catch rate, 21.8/set, falling within the lake class norm. However perch in East Rush were larger than in most class 24 lakes. One third of the sample exceeded 8 inches. These fish should provide additional harvest opportunity for anglers, while a fairly even distribution of perch between 5 and 7 inches should provide ample forage for game fish.
Black crappie abundance was normal in the trapnets but high in the gillnets. Sampled crappie were smaller on average than in the past assessment with relatively few fish over 9 inches. Overall crappie averaged 6.9 inches and 0.2 pounds with a range from 4.1 to 10.0 inches.
Bluegill were normal in both abundance (13.5/trapnet) and size (0.2 pounds) for lake class 24. The 2007 catch was down from the unusually high catch in 2002. Sampled bluegill ranged from 3.1 to 8.5 inches. One fourth of the sample exceeded 7 inches, an acceptable size to some anglers.
Largemouth bass abundance was first indexed in 1997 using night electrofishing. In 2007, bass abundance was once again moderate, at 27.3 per hour of sampling. Although abundance was similar to the 2002 assessment, size slipped some with an average of 11.3 inches and 1 pound. Lengths ranged from 7.3 to 17.9 inches. ?

Status of the Fishery (as of 08/24/1998)
The 1998 walleye catch, while not very high for lakes of this class, was one of the higher catches observed in this lake, historically. Several walleye year classes, all produced naturally, were included in the catch, although none were particularly strong. Walleye growth had been slow, probably due to the lack of yellow perch and competition with lake whitefish and northern cisco. Most of the walleye collected in 1998 had been feeding on insects.
Northern pike were relatively abundant, and several larger fish were observed. Northern pike as old as nine years were taken - unusually old fish for lakes in this area. Northern pike growth had been somewhat faster than average, probably because of the availability of a northern cisco forage base.
Smallmouth bass were also taken in 1998, in average numbers and size. Lake whitefish were very abundant, both for lakes of this class, and for this lake, historically.
