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.

Pumpkinseed44 fish/mileSurvey CPUE · Late-spring electrofishing
Yellow perch96 fish/mileSurvey CPUE · Late-spring electrofishing
Management contextLake-specific late-spring electrofishing; northern pike, yellow perch and black bullhead retain nontarget scope.

DNR documented low black-crappie abundance, moderate pumpkinseed and yellow-perch catch rates, and nontarget northern-pike observations.

  • The target LakeList row has no WBIC, so migration requires the exact reviewed UUID plus WI, name and county.
  • No effort distance is printed; source-reported fish-per-mile values are retained without deriving distance.
  • Qualitative population ratings remain in summary text and are not converted into numeric metrics.
