The brook trout population in Peanut Lake was similar to other managed brook trout lakes in the Finland area. The lake is stocked annually with brook trout fingerlings and should provide good brook trout fishing. The average brook trout was about 10 inches with fish up to 15 inches present in the 2008 sample.
