Fishing forecast
Weather-based planning built from the National Weather Service hourly forecast near this lake.
Checking wind, precipitation, and near-term weather windows.
Water temperature
Modeled surface-temperature estimate built from seasonal climate, lake depth, and live National Weather Service air temperatures near this lake.
Seasonal estimate. Checking current National Weather Service air temperatures…
Comfortable summer pattern. Bass and panfish are active; early and late hours beat the midday heat.
Estimates are modeled, not measured. Actual temperatures vary with depth, wind mixing, and recent weather — verify conditions before swimming, boating, or heading onto ice.
DNR water check
From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Long Lake - Deep Hole.
Somewhat hazy water — summer clarity of 7.8 ft is clearer than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.
Based on July–August 2025 averages across 4 volunteer readings.Nutrient-rich, greener water — more algae and plant growth, common in shallower lakes.
Clearer than 56% of 596 monitored Wisconsin lakes with current readings.
Moderate phosphorus can support noticeable plant/algae growth.
July/August means; counts in parentheses show how many samples went into each average.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 7.8 ft (2) | 9.0 µg/L (2) | — |
| 2024 | 7.5 ft (2) | 7.5 µg/L (2) | — |
| 2023 | 6.0 ft (1) | 6.0 µg/L (2) | 23.0 µg/L (1) |

| 2007 | 7.0 ft (3) | — | — |
Latest individual samples: Secchi 10 ft (2025-09-18), chlorophyll-a 6 µg/L (2025-09-18), and total phosphorus 23 µg/L (2023-08-31).
Secchi clarity is how deep a black-and-white disk stays visible from the surface — more feet means clearer water.
Chlorophyll-a is an algae pigment; higher values signal more algae in the water column.
Total phosphorus is a nutrient that feeds algae and aquatic plants. It is not a weed survey — depth, bottom type, water movement, and management change the actual lake experience.

Depth FAQ
Long Lake is 21 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Long Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
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.
