Both lakes are regularly stocked with several species of fish, including black bullhead, northern pike, and yellow perch and sport fish such as walleye, black bass (i.e., largemouth and smallmouth bass), and panfish (e.g., bluegill). South Red Iron Lake is managed as a northern pike, walleye and yellow perch fishery.[3]
