STATUS OF THE FISHERY: Maple is a small shallow lake that is prone to periodic winterkills. The drought of 1988 drastically reduced water levels in Maple and the lake winterkilled as a result. The fish population in Maple Lake is presently comprised largely of carp (92.3/gillnet) and black bullhead (32.0/trapnet). Fathead minnow were also abundant (5,000+ captured) in the small mesh trapnets.
