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.

Management contextLake-wide 2024 comprehensive survey with separate spring mark-recapture, fyke-net, late-spring electrofishing and fall juvenile-walleye scopes.

DNR estimated a high-density adult-walleye population and documented diverse bass, pike and panfish populations, with low yellow-perch abundance.

  • Historical survey and creel comparators, theoretical model coefficients and qualitative population labels are excluded from current metrics.
  • The source table's combined walleye length range mixes gears while the narrative separates adult, SEII and fall cohorts; promoted lengths retain their narrative cohort scopes.
  • Mortality estimates retain their stated age ranges and are not merged into a single generalized value.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Lake Menomin?

Lake Menomin is 34 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Lake Menomin?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Lake Menomin at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.

Where does the Lake Menomin depth map come from?

The interactive depth contours are derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived). Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are derived from community sonar recordings (C-MAP Genesis Social Map, used with permission), with gaps between recordings interpolated; not for navigation.
