Summary

• Factors influencing bluegill year class strength were evaluated in 3 small, winterkill lakes in northern Wisconsin during 1971-76. Only bluegill were present during the 1st 4 years of the study while walleye and other warm water species were added in 2 of the lakes during 1975-76. The density of parent bluegill was doubled in the remaining lake and no other species added during this latter study segment.
