The fish population was most recently studied during a 1981 summer survey. Ten species were collected including: white perch, yellow perch, pumpkinseeds, bluegills, largemouth bass, brown bullheads, chain pickerel, black crappies, smallmouth bass and golden shiners.

Survey data indicates a good population of largemouth bass and chain pickerel present, but smallmouth bass numbers are inconsistent. One obvious problem here is an overabundant, stunted white perch population. No significant fisheries management can be considered, however, until improvement of access for the general public is secured. Meanwhile, ice fishing seems to be the best bet for the out-of-town angler, and some good catches of largemouth bass and yellow perch have been reported.
