The DNR last surveyed Wapogasset and Bear Trap in 2019 and 2021 to estimate adult walleye and muskie densities. The team assessed catch rates of largemouths, smallmouths, northern pike, bluegills, and other panfish to estimate abundance.

This reduced the effectiveness of baits and translated to a historically low harvest.”
