This is a smooth mathematical model, not a survey - real holes, bars, and drop-offs will differ. Community sonar (C-MAP Genesis) overlays where recorded. Not for navigation.LakeList assistant

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2024 DNR fisheries survey. Population estimates, density, and catch-rate indices use different units, methods, and scopes, so each value is presented in its original form rather than normalized against a different measure.
Survey indicatorsValues keep their source unit and method; unlike measures are not scaled or compared.
Management contextLake-specific 2024 multi-gear spring survey. Targeted fyke-net/electrofishing indices, measured samples and explicit population estimates retain their distinct scopes.
DNR found moderate black-crappie, muskellunge and yellow-perch indices; low bluegill, largemouth-bass, pumpkinseed and adult-walleye density.
- The PDF heading repeats 'LAKE:' before Moquah; the reviewed LakeList identity remains exact by WBIC/name/county.
- Qualitative density and size-structure statements are not converted into numeric values.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Moquah Lake?
Moquah Lake is 8 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 5 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Moquah Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Moquah Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Moquah Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from LakeList depth model. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are a modeled estimate calibrated to the lake's documented maximum depth - not a survey, and not for navigation.
