DNR water check
Water quality quick take
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Jul 2008Volunteer monitoring 2007–2008
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 1 years, ending in 2008. In 2008 the water showed murky water (~1.5 ft Secchi). After 18 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
The DNR station record reports activity through 2025, but LakeList holds no readings after 2008 — check the station reports for anything newer.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2023 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 May 4, 2023 whole-perimeter electrofishing survey. Exact queue WBIC 886000 and UUID gate insertion, but the source itself does not print a WBIC.
DNR documented very abundant but small bluegill and black crappie, improved moderate-density largemouth bass, and lower common-carp catch than in 2013 following lake restoration.
- The report prints no WBIC; migration insertion still requires the exact reviewed LakeList UUID/WBIC/WI/name/county.
- The narrative rounds bluegill and largemouth-bass shoreline CPUE to 225 and 10; the more precise table values 224.5 and 10.5 are retained.
- A sentence misdates absence observations as 2024; no absence metrics are promoted.
