Stocking: Fisheries management activities on Lake Oakland date back to the 1930s, when numerous species were stocked, including bluegill, black crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and an unrecorded crayfish species (Table 1).

This survey reported catch counts without lengths. Source: Michigan DNR Status of the Fishery Resource report (counts summed across survey years).
