Stocking: As with many lakes in Michigan, Whitmore was stocked with large numbers of bluegills, largemouth bass, and yellow perch in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
Length is the largest fish netted in the survey, not an angler record. Source: Michigan DNR Status of the Fishery Resource report (counts summed across survey years).
