Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2021 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 contextThe 2021 late-spring electrofishing survey assessed Fisher Lake bass and panfish, with all-fish sampling limited to a 0.5-mile station.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Fisher Lake?
Fisher Lake is 42 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Fisher Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Fisher Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Fisher 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.
